Okay, so I got the estimate cost from the company who is going to take care of:

- removing all lower cabinets, countertops, drywall behind lower cabinets, uninstall existing kitchen sink, remove stove and vent
- installing of all drywall behind lower cabinets, finished and painted
- installing kitchen sink with 1 cabinet and plumbing
- dump fee of all materials and mold

Total = $2800

It's a hell cheaper than the $10-$12k for a new kitchen. And we're not going to bother with that because whoever's going to own the unit most likely want to renovate/redecorate it anyways. Mom's fine with this and it looks like my paycheck won't be affected by this. Phew!

Now if only my downstairs neighbor would stop bugging me and telling me all his crap as if I'm the manager of the condo and actually contact the condo association and give them an update of this! The leak problem is starting to be a condo association issue and not us since it is coming from above the neighbor's ceiling and below my floor (both of us have leaks/wetness) that we both can't get to.
