Folks, we are getting ready to purchase a home. There are some things that we are going to want to change. We'll probably start as soon as (or before) we move in. One of the things that we want to do is a redesign of the kitchen, probably including new cabinets (at least, that's what the missus wants). She's done some reading that said that a lot of the cost of cabinets is installation because it's involved. I don't want to minimize what those folks do, but I am wondering, "is it so hard that I can't do it?" and I think the answer has got to be "no."

So, Have you done cabinet installs, how hard is it, and what are the gotchas? And is it even possible to install custom stuff yourself or are they going to make it next to impossible to do.

The missus was even asking about me doing the custom builds, but I don't think she wants that if for no other reason than because of how long it would take, and, I suspect it's just not worth it, at least, for a whole kitchen.
