Getting rid of unwanted kitchen cabinetry
Okay...this is a question for anyone who knows anything at all about carpentry and cabinets:
How do you remove unwanted kitchen cabinets, and is it a difficult job?
I have cabinets on one side of my kitchen laid out in an L-shape, and on the end with the extension that comes out from the wall there is a lazy susan in the corner cabinet. I HATE the lazy susan. (The door in front of it is at an angle facing the inside of the kitchen area.) Dishes always get caught behind it or under it, making it difficult to turn, and there's no door on the other side making removing these items next to impossible.
I want to chop off the end, make the cabinet with the lazy susan a regular cabinet, and then MAYBE extend the countertop for extra eating space and food prep area without the cabinets underneath.
Is this a hard job, too difficult to justify nagging my husband into taking on the project? Or is it easy enough that I could break out the saw and do it myself?
Any ideas? Any advice?
