Sorry for the stupid question, but if it's only temporary what is the issue with what's there now?
Super fair question.
Few of reasons: 1) we don't have space for our dish washer so that is now in another room taking up space 2) we can't use our dishwasher 3) the estimate for when we can do the proper renovations is a bit vague (minimum has been six months, but we've seen no real evidence of this, so suspect it could end up being longer). 4) it's a bit knackered and gross.
Bit of advice (again) please.
I'm in a weird situation where we're putting together a temporary kitchen while we wait on some other stuff to free up another room. We're pretty much good except shy on space for the dishwasher (or washing machine, or cooker).
In the pic attached we've pulled out the counter on the far left and put the fridge there. Then the stove, then the washing machine (sitting under counter top on right hand side). There's 40~cm gap between the cooker and the fridge as is. The sink/cupboard unit is 100cm. Therefore, if we cut that down to ~80ish we'd be golden and have space to slip in the dishwasher. That counter is also a wreck so not terribly fussed replacing it, even if it does end up being temporary.
Any idea what this could cost on the low end of material quality? Is IKEA the best option? Or should I just pay someone to do sort it all out? Or maybe risk ruining Christmas by trying to B&Q bodge it myself? I'm an idiot so that should be kept in mind.
