Goals of Kitchen Remodel

1. Mitigate health and safety hazards.
Current problems:

• Inadequate refrigeration > food spoilage and food poisoning
• Open kitchen and holes in floor > fly problem, food contamination
• Uneven floor > accessibility problems, trip hazard
• People coming into the kitchen for hot water > accidents, cranky cooks

2. Repair structural problems.
Current problems:

• Rot under sinks
• Roof leaks

3. Improve kitchen functionality and flow.
Current problems:

• Small low-pressure propane tanks > run out frequently, not good for stoves
• Stoves are old and crotchety > burners don’t work, ovens take forever
• Inadequate dry storage > rodent attraction

4. Improve traffic flow.
Current problems:

• Narrow aisles on either side of food tables
• Traffic jam around coffee and snack areas
• Piles of people’s stuff at entrance
