        "text": "1. DIRECT ANSWER\nMost people do live in their home during a kitchen remodel, but you should expect noise, dust, limited cooking, and some disruption. It’s manageable if you plan a temporary kitchen setup and set rules with your contractor.\n\n2. CONTEXT\nLeaving completely can be more comfortable but adds housing costs. Staying means coordinating work hours, access, pets, and kids for safety.\n\n3. KEY FACTORS\n- Project **duration** and how much of the home is affected.\n- Ability to create a **temporary kitchen** (microwave, hot plate, fridge).\n- Household needs: **kids, pets, work‑from‑home** constraints.\n- Contractor’s **clean‑up practices** and dust control.\n\n4. PRACTICAL GUIDANCE\nDesignate another room as a mini‑kitchen with small appliances and disposable or portable dishware. Ask about plastic barriers, floor protection, and daily clean‑up, and clarify work hours so you can plan around them.\n\n5. SOFT POSITIONING\nA considerate contractor will help you minimize disruption and keep the work zone safe while you remain in the home."
