It is me…the OP!
We actually survived the remodel, a couple of hiccups, especially with the backsplash tile, new tile needed to be ordered, caused a 1 month delay. Luckily, the sink/ plumbing was finished the end of week 5. Should have been all done after 6 weeks. The stove got reinstalled at the end of week 6. And, something for one of our cabinet doors is still backordered, so we are missing 1 cabinet door,
For meals…we actually survived great, with a minimal amount of eating out (Not more than normal for us). I even realized I could cook pasta in an instapot. Our meal plan more or less was cold dinner salads (tuna salad, chicken salad, chef salads) with some grilling mixed in too. We went out for pizza, got an XL, had leftovers for several days, same concept with Chinese take out.
I love what we did, love the colors that we picked. Our contractor did a great job coordinating all the trades.
