Series 07
Before, During and After a Remodel
The appliance half of a building programme: protecting what stays, storing what leaves, and proving what comes back works.
Appliances rarely appear on a remodel schedule until the week they are needed, and that is where the avoidable damage happens. Dust gets into a condenser. A range is pulled for a floor refinish and set back a quarter-inch high. A refrigerator spends three months in a garage on its side.
This series is the timeline: what to do before the trades arrive, what to insist on while they are there, and what to check on the first day the kitchen is yours again. It ends where the rest of the site begins — with a working kitchen and a number to call when it stops being one.
