On most topics, I compare notes
with suppliers, tradespeople, or other
contractors to make sure I have the
widest range of experience from which
to write. But on this subject—simple
but often disastrous mistakes you can
make in remodeling a kitchen—I
didn't need any input. All I had to do
was search my memory. Despite the
fundamental nature of the dozen
errors and oversights listed below, I
have committed all of them in the 15
years I've been in the kitchen business.
Most were made because I was so
focused (or scattered) that I missed
the obvious. Others were temptations
I gave into because I was trying so
hard to please the client I wasn't willing
to draw
