Before I started going to church, i demolished a total kitchen on a sunday morning and had built from scratch and treated some fine mahogany cabinets. 15 days total. Prefab is so incredibly easy. It just takes very few tools and some shims to level it. The other issue beside surface, is flooring. Your flooring was most likley laid after the cabinets were in.
counter top and flooring are the biggest problems ahead.

Ohhhhhhh, I didn't even think about the FLOORING!!! Good point.

It don't matter... change one thing, anything! And you'll end up replacing the whole kitchen.
When you get done (and good at it!) come by our place. The kitchen's been nagging at us for a long time.
Better yet, Timmy come on by! The C4 sounds like a good trick.

YES!!!! If at all possible! 
It's okay...he's very tolerant of my projects, and will fix it if I make a mess of things. If it's too hard, I'll try to persuade him to do it for me.
It's really easy, you know...you just say, "Honey, can you chop off this cabinet for me? If you don't know how to do it, Bruce (our carpenter) can do it for $200.00."
Is that manipulative?

Well, a little manipulative, but how do you get them to do anything? I have my husband on a project right now and he's dragging his feet - big time!
It isn't that easy with my husband either. If I say, "Could you, please......?", he says I'm telling him what to do and he won't do it. 
Friday, I said, "Could you mow the lawn before so and so comes over?" He looks at me and that means, "No, because you told me to do it." He never mowed the lawn!
Good luck!
