Default Another Tile Question

I have both counter tops and wall covered with ceramic tile. When I get new
cabinets I would have liked to keep the wall tile but have been told it's
probably not possible. I can save a lot of money if I remove the tile
myself....before the tile was put up, the walls were just drywall covered in
glossy finish latex paint.

Does anyone know what I can expect when I take off the tile - how badly messed
up will the wall be? How can I clean it off so I can have new tile put up when
they are finished with the cabinets?

Why do you think - if the present cabinets come down 30 inches from the ceiling
- and the new ones come down 30 inches from the ceiling - they say they can't
save the tile? Just curious.


Thanks.

Dorothy
