This is day one of the kitchen remodeling and I believe we survived. It is amazing to me how much room there is now without the cabinets, appliances and the counter tops. Only two problems arose when they tore out the soffit. The first affects Meg's bathroom. The soffit was hiding the duct to her bathroom vent. Luckily, her bathroom is small, so not having air conditioning and heat won't affect it as long as she keeps the door open when she is not using it. The second problem stems from the pipes to the boys bathroom. We will still be able to vent the microwave, but our contractor will have to cut a smaller hole. Thus, I feel overall that it was pretty good news. Our home was built over 20 years ago and we expected a few glitches.
Doug was inventive with dinner. He grilled bratwurst and sausage. We have one burner on the side of the grill, so he was still able to make pasta. With all of that he, Cal and I were satisfied. Meg was content with left over rice and there was enough taco meet for two soft tacos for Cameron. Tomorrow night we will eat out and we are hoping to try a few crock pot recipes next week. Hopefully, we will only be without a stove for a month, so we should be able to survive. In all honesty it is the sink that I will miss the most. Washing dishes at the bathroom vanity will be a challenge, but we will make do. Always wanted to be a pioneer, so guess I will just have to learn to "rough" it.
