Q: I’ve been thinking that we can save some money on our kitchen remodeling project by removing the old cabinets ourselves. But I haven’t the faintest idea of how to do that. Where should I start?

To save money on a kitchen renovation, reorganize and re-equip the kitchen cabinets you already have. Replace space-hogging shelves with pullout drawers, swing-out corner units, and multitiered racks. You might reclaim so much space that you can forgo adding more footage to the room.
