I moved my fridge and a microwave into the foyer. Used a small toaster oven in the laundry room as well. But I admit, since its only dd and me, we ate out every night. We don't have a laundry tub, so it was a small bathroom sink or the tub to wash. I just didn't want to mess with it.
I was lucky. My renovation took just shy of 4 weeks. Seeing as my contractor was off for 2 days of it (school holiday) and the renovation involved tearing down/repairing walls and asbestos flooring removal, I think we were really lucky. Here's a clue: use a contractor who is busy. Since mine had a bunch of work to do after mine, he wanted to be done and move on. (He is also a perfectionist, so he didn't do a rush job.)
