    Okay, so if the kitchen is the priority, maybe share your plans with us to start with 🙂

    The point someone made about the cooker (whatever itineration you use) needing more dedicated power is a basic thing that many newbies won't expect.

    Measure up for the design. But don't buy anything until you are in. There are suppliers that can provide quickly if you're that desperate, but time spent in the planning phase is the most important!  Get it right.  You'll be able to measure again and again to double, triple check arrangements when you're living there.  

    I've been renovating for 20 years and I do it for other people for a living.  My own kitchen went through three design phases
