We met with the cabinet guy yesterday and dove deeper into the details of what will likely go where and what types of cabinets, drawers, and pullouts make sense for each. We also browsed hardware options and have a pretty good idea of what we like when it comes time to pick them.
At this point, we just need to clean out the kitchen and set up the temporary kitchen area in the living room. We've already done some cleaning out but can't finish until this weekend since we'll be using the kitchen until Monday night. I'm going out of town Wednesday and Thursday but once I'm back, we'll focus 100% on getting the house ready for work to begin on Tuesday.
I also need to clean a bunch of stuff from the family room where I do my reselling business. Materials are going to need to be stored there while the work is under way. I'll shift my focus to there once he actually starts in the kitchen. I also need to get back to cleaning out the garage. I had to pause that as I was prepping to take my next china selling roadtrip to NC tomorrow. There are currently 25 cases of china packed and stacked for that so with all of those in there, I couldn't really work on other things.
I'm sure the job will be super disruptive to our routines but I'm actually looking forward to it getting started. I'm just afraid of what problems he will discover along the way once he starts opening up walls and removing the existing floor.

Sounds like you have everything well planned.

Yeah, I drive down every 2-3 months with about 25 cases. Gross sale of around $5,000/trip, net about $3,500 or so. I post about it on the forums in my ebay seller thread.
