daniel, quite the project to undertake! I helped my dad do ours when I was younger. Did pretty much the same thing, gutted, redid wiring and then waited on the new cabinets to show. We pulled the sink, and then re-installed it via a 2x4 makeshift base so we could still do all the other work around it. They also bought a Gas grill and mom attempted to make everything on that. She just had no patience for grilling though. Good luck on your project!
