Are you really going to wait two years or more to remodel the kitchen? When we bought this house we started using the new appliances straight away and basically worked around them. Obviously the sink isn't something you can just drop in and call good if you are going to replace the countertop but that's not such a huge box that it couldn't go into a basement until you need it. My assumption is that the new stove is going in the same space as the old one and it's the same width. Just start using the new stove and free up the garage space before winter, S'what I'd do.
The sink is gonna go into the bathroom downstairs. The guy we know will do it for $1,000. This is probably TMI but the cremation and tree removal ran me $5000. I want to put off another big expense for a bit. I have a lot of ADHD when it comes to projects, too.
The oven does kind of require demo. We had this oven that came with the house, which was two ovens. It was one oven, divided into two parts. This is just one oven. I don't know how we could take the unit we have out and put the new one in without it being this whole thing.
I should also add that I honestly thought I was getting back to normal before the start of July. Right now the thought of lifting a finger to swat a fly is overwhelming.
Yours is good advice, of course! Please know that I appreciate it. Also, yes, if we had a normal kitchen I would absolutely remove the one oven and put the new one there.
