The closest IKEA to us is almost 100 miles, so that's not really feasible. With me still working and Ben having dialysis, I can't imagine becoming our own contractors, especially since neither of us knows a thing about construction, and a friend who does handyman work, but nothing as big as we need, said we need a licensed contractor because of the electrical and plumbing concerns.

On the plus side, turns out one of our neighbor's is dating a guy who installs kitchens. He's going to talk to us later this week and see if he can help.
