[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here. A few answers to questions:

1. the house is a sfh, 2000 sq ft worth about $500K without the kitchen remodel, so $50K (10% of house value) to me is really the very top of what should be spent on any one reno. I don't have delusions about the resale value and would be doing this largely for family enjoyment. I can't imagine the redone kitchen would add more than $10-15K to the value.
2. Here is what the $50K includes: 
-Kitchen is 12X20, so on the larger size. I'm not sure of the linear feet of cabinets exactly, but I would guess at least 60 feet (counting uppers and lowers separately). In addition to pull and replace, adding a 6 foot island and built in desk area/shelves. Cabinets are semi-custom upgraded to all plywood (no MDF).
-No appliances are being moved
-Grade A/B granite countertops
-Hardwood floor installation in the 12X20 kitchen in addition to an adjacent foyer that is about 8X6
-Recessed lighting
-Painting and drywall

[b]Most of the estimates have had between 2500-4000K just to demo the kitchen.[/b][/quote]

Can you not do this? It took DH and I a weekend to unscrew cabinets. It really wasn't hard AT ALL. And we were able to post the cabinets to craigslist, get a few hundred dollars for them and they were picked up the next day. [/quote]
