We need a new kitchen, she says.
It can just spiral out of control cost wise.
And it takes about a month without a grill.
We're a week in and waiting for cabinets.
I miss my tap being right there.

Good luck - we did our kitchen and floors two years ago and were cooking outside for eight weeks.
I've been told you need cabinets first then stone benchtops takes 2 weeks.
You need benchtops before splash backs. Glass splashbacks takes 2 weeks.
Then power points go in and finished
8 weeks sucxs
This is why you arrange for absolutely everything to be delivered, the week before doing the actual kitchen upgrade.
If you have everything ready to go, then it shouldn't take more than a few days to do the upgrade itself.

Exactly. We had the guys come to our rental house we own and run , measure, design and quote. Accept the quote, they fabricate (took them 18 days). When all ready, they installed - took them 2 and a half days with 3 guys working. Included custom cabinets, glass splash backs, new double sink, range hood, counter with inlaid stone hot pan spot etc. Our tenants were not particularly inconvenienced . We also took the opportunity to put in a new reverse cycle air con in too during the kitchen reno (old system was 10 years old) as well as a new hot water system.

This arrived on 3 trucks over 2 days.
The only place to store it here is in the kitchen.
it took the professionals 2 days to install it.
And we still have to wait for stone and then splash backs.
Yep. The 2 burner Gasmate is out the back. She says it's better to cook on than the electric we just junked.
New cooktop is induction. We have a lot of alloy fry pans so they'll be useless.
I still miss the tap and the griller though.
We did our kitchen renovation by buying a new house, gutting the existing setup and getting the new one in - before we moved into the new house. We also did all the other renovations we wanted at this time as well.
We found that trying to renovate our old place while we were in it always fell into the too hard basket to manage, so we got things right this time before moving into the place.
Yep she's definitely some sort of kitchen hoarder. There has always been stuff stashed everywhere. At least 3 shelved cabinets full plus a couple of downstairs linen closet shelves as well. With the old kitchen out, I can't believe how much stuff there is around the house now. If it all get packed into this huge kitchen it will release a ton of space downstairs.
This is a 2 story 4 bedroom place with option for a 5th bedroom. The kids are all gone. The original kitchen was tiny compared to the house size. She has retired early and I'll follow suite at EOFY. With current downsizing laws, when we both reach 65 years, we can sell this monster, put $300K each into investment streams and buy something smaller elsewhere. So a new monster kitchen is probably worthwhile. Already done the roof, paint, ensuite and flooring.
Getting her to move more than spitting distance from Myers may be an issue though, I've already tried. But I got a few years to sway my case for a darker site.
