        "text": "Most homeowners can remain in their home, but you will need to plan for temporary cooking arrangements while structural and utility work is underway. During rough framing, drywall, and tile installation, water and gas lines will be shut off periodically, and the space will be closed off with dust barriers. Setting up a temporary kitchen area in an adjacent room or finished basement with a microwave, mini-fridge, and prep table keeps daily routines manageable. Clear daily communication with the on-site contractor helps you coordinate utility shutoffs and stay informed throughout noisy phases.",
