Some people think that getting ready for a kitchen remodel near Denver, CO, just means getting the new appliances, countertops, cabinets, flooring, wall covers, and other building materials for the new kitchen. But while the kitchen is being remodeled, it is out of commission and can’t be used.
So, you need to take steps to ensure you can still eat without relying solely on food and to keep dangerous mistakes from happening.
Create a Temporary Kitchen
Consider yourself lucky if you have an outdoor kitchen or a big porch. Creating a temporary kitchen will be as easy as moving your big appliances, cooking tools, and food outside. If you don’t have a kitchen, you can make one in the dining room, living room, or any other large, nearby room.
If you’re getting new equipment for your kitchen remodel near Denver CO, get rid of all the old ones except for your stove, microwave, and fridge for now. You could also use a small stove, such as an electric or camping stove, and a mini-refrigerator. What’s important is that you have a different room with enough supplies to cook meals for the length of your remodel.
Organize Loose Items and Food
Loose items are things in your kitchen that aren’t fixed in place. You should put these into four main groups: food, tools, things you use daily, and things you can pack away. The “everyday use” group includes plates, tools, pots, pans, spices, and other loose things you use daily. These will go straight to your makeshift kitchen. The “pack away” group includes the same loose items you don’t use very often and can put away until the repair is done.
