My wife and I are close to settling on a new floorplan for our kitchen.
It is a major re-do.. knocking down walls etc. Now I want to make
sure it all works, I am thinking about demolishing the walls and
everything else in the entire space, then mocking in our new floorplan,
using folding tables and anything else I can find/build to replicate
our final plan. That way, I figure we will see any potential
problems.. it will be a week or two of living like we are camping.. but
I think it could yeild some good info on whether or not our final
design is the right thing.

We know we want to go back to the exterior walls and start over, so
there is no downside in taking out all the interior walls (we already
have cleared with builder what walls go.. and which can't be touched to
to structural integrity) and essentially taking it back to the walls.

Anyone else every tried this? Any Suggestions?
