Scheduled start date - June 22

Just got an email from Dan, our contractor - work on the kitchen will begin Monday, June 22 at 8am. WooHoo!

Sometime between now and then, he will conduct a planning session, and provide us with a time line (Project plan?) showing what is scheduled to happen when.

Good thing I've started packing the kitchen up. My goal is to have it all packed and to be living with the new arrangement by June 17 or so. That way if I've packed something I really need, or the furniture arrangement doesn't work, or the camp stove is broken, etc. etc. - we still have time to react before actual construction begins.

This is a week later than estimated. I had hoped to have the kitchen done before 7/28 (our anniversary). Dan's original estimate was 5-6 weeks of work. 5 weeks we'll make it - 6 we won't. I guess we may end up going out to eat on our anniversary, which we have not done in years.
