"1. Laminate tops are screwed in place. Most others are attached with caulk. Construction adhesive is NEVER used by knowledgable installers because the countertop could never be removed without damaging the cabinets."

- Irregardless, caulking is still a glue. How do you "slide it out" if it is glued on with caulk?

"2. Properly installed plumbing control devices would be 3"-4" from the wall."

- Sure, but the point where the hoses are attached are just 1" to 2" from the wall. And the hose nuts consume more of that gap.

#3 and #4 are both accurate, and not "nonsense".

"5. Slide the corner and the adjacent cabinets out at the same time."

- Nice idea... but that is physically impossible!!! Think about it... the cabinets would have to shrink in width to slide out!

"6. Properly installed cabinets are not lower than the flooring. If the cabinets are not properly installed there is always some way to move the cabinet forward a few inches."

- If it is constrained by the countertop, and has a floor installed up to the edge... no... it is not possible. You can't pull a 30.5" cabinet through a 30.25 vertical opening.

"Any issue related to installation of replacement front panels could and would be addressed with the initial installation. You do realize that there is an initial installation process and that these replacement front panels won't apply to current cabinet installations, right?"

If the floor was already installed with a previous cabinet installation, or the floor was installed after the cabinets are in place, the cabinet installation procedure is irrelevant!
