Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 3224496, member: 757"] Some things I've learned about a kitchen or bathroom remodel. Get the plan finalized completely. Make sure all the cabinets are properly measured. Double, triple, quadruple check measurements. Buy everything and wait for delivery (except the counter top) before you start demo. Every cabinet, tile, trim, appliance and hardware item (faucets, water filter, disposal, switches, outlets, toilets, sinks) needs to be in your garage or living room or driveway before you let anyone in your house to start the project. The counter tops should wait until everything is in place and they can properly measure in case something moved by a quarter or half inch. You don't want a counter a half inch short of a wall or an undermount sink a quarter inch off. It does add a couple weeks to the project while slabs are cut, but it's worth it. You can probably use much of your kitchen while this is being done - other than the sink and possibly cooktop. Plywood counter tops are fine if your oven, fridge, microwave and stove (a cooktop may need to wait for the counter) are working while waiting for whatever counter you've ordered. Adjust as necessary for a bathroom. [/QUOTE]
