Setting Up a Temporary Kitchen- Help Please

18 years ago

We will be moving into our house before our kitchen is done and I need some tips on how to do this the best way. What will we NEED, what's nice to have, and what is useless? We should have cabinets and hopefully appliances within a week or so but won't have countertops or a hood for several weeks after that. This seems like it should be a no-brainer but I'm hoping some BTDT's can tell me what was helpful for them. Thanks!

All I needed was my sink, appliances (dishwasher mandatory lol) and a couple of tables for flat space. Use temporary plywood on your counters if you're able to.

I never set up a temp kitchen. We are working in half a kitchen right now. I have my sink and a small counter space next to it as well as my cooktop and wall oven still installed. I'm using one of my dishdrawers temporarily installed and I have a large (read takes up too much space) table on wheels for my flat, prep space. After DH finishes the new half, he'll rip out the old half. At that time I'll have to live without an oven ;-( Good thing I'm in So Cal so I can BBQ stuff lol
