Did you remodel your own kitchen?

If so, we want to hear about it. Good, bad & ugly.  Some of the most difficult things to convey about kitchen remodeling are

• how much work it is to coordinate multiple trades, repeatedly
• how dusty & dirty it is
• the inconvenience of kitchenless living

So spill it.

Was it easy as pie?  Did you get a divorce because of it? Was it worth the effort & time? Did you save a significant amount of money? Most of all, would you do it again?

Or would you rather gouge your eyes out with a rusty spoon before you do another kitchen remodel yourself?
