mikhen, please post your inside demo pics if you can find them, i'd love to see what i'm getting into...

GDE, thanks again for the wonderful advice. i most likely will just do an inside demo. a lot of my cabinetry is messed up anyhow (rot around corners and bottoms, not to mention it SCREAMS 1977...now, don't get me wrong, i love classic things but i do want to upgrade these). since the screws are under the roof (and floor i assume) how do i remove these? just pry them out and then bust off the screws level with the surface?

fieldsoldier, for the floor stuff you will get a break, the screws should be from the top down.

You should be able to find the screws holding the cabinets to the floors by looking at the cleats at the bottoms of the cabinets. The walls are this way also but to get to the screws you have to remove one side of the paneling.

Note, sometimes the screws will be hidden in the cleats, sometimes when they drive the screws they go below the surface of the wood.

Since you are not worried about the floor cabinets you can have at it with a crowbar and hammer. I personally like the flat wonder bars. Sometimes just busting off the paneling from the cleats will show the locations of the screws.
