In about a half an hour Eric will show up with his crew and demolish our old kitchen. Goodbye cramped and ugly 1970s and hello counter space with light!

Here's a half-a-kitchen before panorama so you can have an idea of the yuck.

How will we eat? We have a small kitchen set up in our living room and cooking burners set up in the basement. Of course, we will be going out more than usual, too.

Another blip in my sanity that didn't occur to me until late in the game is my work space. That upper left corner, along with our dining room table, used to be my office. For the duration I'm sharing space with Andy and working at the library.

It's going to be a bumpy month or so, any tips or tricks you have to share would be greatly appreciated.

I can't wait for the new space. We're already planning a celebratory smoked brisket party!
