Has anyone redone their kitchen lately? We have been searching for a new house for over a year with no luck. So we have decided to stay where we are, update the kitchen and floors and make the move after our youngest is out of school. She is now in the 10th grade.

I believe that I have found a great price but I am very nervous about how long they will take. They keep telling me less than a month and I am praying they are correct. My neighbors added on to their house and their kitchen was down for 6 months. I cannot do that.

We are not making any structural changes but we are pulling out the tile, putting in hardwood, putting new cabinets in the old foot print, granite and a new backsplash.

Any coping techniques or ideas to make this easier?
