\nI was more or less prepared for making do without a proper kitchen. What I wasn’t quite prepared for was how hard it would be to not have access to running water in or even near the temporary kitchen-in-dining-room.<\/p>\n

There is a temporary wall blocking off the dining room from the construction site. Which, given the sawdust and peat dust and other kinds of dust in there, is a good thing. But it means that getting to the laundry room and the sink there is now a bit of a hassle.<\/p>\n

In the old kitchen, I had the stove and the sink right next to my small work area. Sink on the left, stove on the right. Now the sink is not even in the same room. Or in the next one. Or even in the room beyond that: I have to pass through three doorways and around two corners to get to the sink.<\/p>\n

I’ve started using the bathroom sink for some tasks, but it is small, and really only works for small stuff. I can rinse veggies and drain pasta or fill a small pot halfway with water, but no more than that.<\/p>\n

I’m almost considering buying a stainless steel bucket so that I can have water at hand in the “kitchen”. But then I’d also need another bucket for dirty water, and someplace to put them, and it’s not really worth it.<\/p>\n

Running water is a pretty darn good thing to have.
