Just do what my parents did. Move to a different state and stop talking to us.
that will fix your problem.

I want to. But I actually get along with my kids and want to see my grand kids. Which means I’m stuck in this place for years.
And it’s more about a damaged kitchen etc than anything else.

Sorry but if that’s four months I don’t think it’s gonna be too soon hopefully you guys love it and it will have all been worth it. My wife wants a kitchen but I’m poor.

We had a leak. And mold so weeks were just getting that sorted out. We now know next week demo starts and our new kitchen will start to take shape. I can’t wait but still probably looking at at least a month
And I thought I was poor before. Lol.
Everything has hit at once.

Hang in there... this kitchen thing will pass soon and then you will be on to the next project.

Will your kitchen be done before my backsplash?

That was our mutual agreement for years. Then May of last year they move in with us by agreement to purchase this home...jeez what a year it's been...my daughter has to be the laziest person I know when it comes to house upkeeping and it's driving the wife and I insane. Can't wait until the work at our other home is completed. I'm ready to get back to normal if there is such a thing anymore...on top of that the wife tested positive for C19 a week ago.
I'll start a thread about that fiasco and another about my 6.2LSC issues...fuk me.

 

[monkeyswrench]

There's always a bright side. You had dinner with four generations of your family. Sounds like it was just to do it, not a holiday or special event.
That's a pretty beautiful thing. We only have ourselves and our kids. No elders, and no grandkids...hopefully not for a while, as my daughter is 17.
It's a hassle and a bitch, but temporary and worthwhile!

You are 100% correct. Wouldn’t change it. And most will never have the chance to experience it. But. Sometimes I just get tired and and. Nothing else. Just tired I guess.
Tomorrow all will be good and by Saturday it will happen again. Hopefully.

I get it. Sometimes it just feels like you're pinned in 5th gear. We all need to back off the limiter, and take an easy lap now and again

We set up a make shift kitchen on our patio, camp stove micro toaster over, hot cold water and a boat load of paper plates and forks.... oh don’t forget and zip lock bags.

it helped with the madness, bit it still sucks.

im sure the finished product will be better than new, but in the mean time it really sucks! Good luck!

We just talked about moving the camping stove to the back yard. Have the burner on the bbq etc. but the clean up. Even trying to use paper and disposable stuff. Just sucks with no in house water it sucks. We will get through it and will be worth it. But tonight. I just am done.

Opposite for me and my wife.
Our only child moved to New Hampshire 8 years ago. Got married last year and they are now pregnant with our first grand kid.
Wife says she’s moving there upon retirement whether I do or not.
Good enough of an excuse to me to leave this hell hole.

Welp.. it's time for.. "had a great time but, let's do it at your house next time!"

After the first time at "their house" they understand, and you'll have a few that stick around to help out next time!

I'm a firm believer if you cook, you dont clean and vise versa.

Again in fairness. We have been invited to their house many times. We watch the grandkids for my daughter while she works for a few hours a couple evenings a week and normally isn’t an issue. Just tonight I was in a fuck this kind of mood. Probably because we’ve had a lot of upheaval in the house lately.

We bought a RV and lived in it on our property when we were doing a major remodel. It was actually not bad at all and much better than trying to live in the house when it was torn up. Sold the RV when the remodel was done.

 

[white tortilla]

@Mr. C im in same boat across town from you. Got married in sept, went on honeymoon and came back and tore house apart and kitchen apart. Still working on it, hopefully counters this week for me, flooring next, appliances in 3. We’ve been washing dishes in single bathroom vanity and using a hot plate or bbq. But it’s only two of us.

 

[Desert Whaler]

Cool that you have family you love / enjoy.
I tried the 'insta-family' thing w/ a gal with 3 kids.
Was almost 10 years in . . . kids were beyond selfish . . .final straw was one Christmas . . their whole family came down . . . tree, dinner, gifts, deserts, music etc.
Mom tells kids 'it's bedtime'. . . They all say 'goodnight' w/ hug kisses, to Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, Mom etc. , they fully skipped over me on purpose.
I called it, and tapped-out after that one. Shine.

Thank god for the bathroom sink. lol Probably better clean out that bathroom trap when you'r finished. We start complete demo next week and they think 3 weeks for us from there. good news is we have our backyard back and the pool is done being refinished and they AC is in.

 

[lbhsbz]

If I had my way, the only thing in my kitchen would be a Coffee maker. Do all cooking/eating outside. Paper plates and everything goes in the trash when done....just like at the River.

 

[Waterjunky]

We are a little ways off from the Kitchen remodel of our late 50's kitchen but when it happens I am setting up a full temporary in a utility area nearby. Still going to be a mess but a freestanding dishwasher and the stove on a 2x4 frame will be such will be a lifesaver.

Wish i had a little time to plan but one day just noticed water draining out the back of the kitchen through the stucco outside. Original plan was just to replace the few damaged cabinets. but when trying to remove the granite it broke. Some down time just with typical insurance dealings. what's covered what might not be etc. Then we just decided F it let's redo the whole damn thing. Getting rid of the island and doing a peninsula for some bar stools and place for the G-kids to sit and eat.

1st sentence - maybe 2nd -LOL, lets not get carried away.

 

[Mandelon]

When we blow up someone's kitchen we often install a utility sink for them to use.

Doing dishes in the bathtub gets old fast!

 

[Mr. C]

Here's he end plan. white quartz with black/gray veining / matt black faucet /handles etc. / white cabinets and a white farmhouse sink.
the peninsula will come out a little farther as well.

 

[samsah33]

...knock me over with a feather, all these years I thought kitchens were self-cleaning...!

 

[rivermobster]

Gonna be nice when it's done...

Went through hell on my remodel too. Lucky we had my toy hauler in the driveway and pretty much lived outa it!

Hangin there.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

3 words.... disposable place settings

Shit, disposable everything. If it cant be cleaned with a hose, dont use it.

 

[NicPaus]

Just finished a similar kitchen. The double oven and cook top Hopefully you have in hand. Kitchenaid was a nightmare. Changed delivery date at least 6 times. Ordered last August they arrived 2 weeks ago. Initial lead time was 13 days.

Sorry to hear about your kitchen. This is why I did pretty much everything myself except for countertops. Took me 10 days total including demo. Waiting on Contractors can be like watching grass grow, lol
