These overhead cabinets were solid oak! A little heavier than expected 
We set up chairs on the counter to help hold it while i cut it from the ceiling, then removed the chairs to bring it down to the counter, and then somehow got it down to the floor without crushing our newly installed laminate or our toes.

Looks (and I would bet) works much better as a kitchen with those upper island cabinets gone. More light, from the sliders and it has that open concept look and feel.
This is my kind of project. I'm very good at the demo part. Unfortunately, not very skilled with the 'put back together part'. Although my head is swirling with ideas on how I would repurpose those, cabinets you took down. Thanks for posting.
