I recently took a day off from work to be at home while contractors worked a long day in my kitchen.  I knew I would be working in my home office all day, and I also knew that I would not have access to the fridge or sink all day. 

In addition to preparing the room for the workers, I gathered what I would need to "survive" without the kitchen all day:  freezing ice packs overnight, then packing a large cooler with food and beverages enough for the day (including condiments like salad dressing, sweetener, and creamer), as well as some utensils, paper towels, plates, glasses and a favorite mug. I set up a coffee machine in my home office (it may stay - what a convenience!) and pulled out meals and snacks throughout the day, never bothering the workers as they completed their tasks.

Not only did I get a lot of work done at home, I didn't feel terribly inconvenienced without access to my kitchen!
