That's assuming the demo crew know how to remove things properly. I always
cringe when I watch the DIY kitchen shows and see clueless DIYers removing
countertops and cabinets with a SLEDGEHAMMER. Unless they were installed
very strangely, they should just unscrew from whatever they were mounted to.


Screws? *Ha. *You're more likely to face 1000 nails that are driven
extra deep or covered with formica and adhesive.


I had to remove a cabinet in my kitchen to make space for a full sized
fridge, and it was screwed to the wall, no goo. And if there was a
shortcut that could have been taken, I bet the PO would have taken it.
