1.  no need to remove the table

2.  No screws holding cabinet floor, it just pulls up for convenience.

3. Who's fault is it your cupboard is full of stuff?

4.  Why do you need to find a screwdriver?  I know right where all if my tools are ( Phillips screwdriver does many things on your van).

5.  Why are you such a slob making a mess everywhere?

It's not a big deal.....
