The good news: we ordered the cabinets. $5000, non returnable, atleast without some fanagaling. We can no longer turn back on the kitchen project -- we have reached the point of no return.
And then, shortly thereafter, we reached some asbestos tiles. Two layers of them, to be exact.
We are not sure that the tiles are asbestos, but based on what i have read, most tiles manufactured from the 30s to the 70s were asbestos, so we are just assuming that they are. The floor is already one inch above the rest of the floors, so we need to get rid of the suckers.
I found this great factsheet on safe removal of asbestos tiles. Believe me, it is not for the faint of heart. This is scary shit. We may get the tiles tested -- or we may take all the necessary precautions and get rid of it. We would also need to find a place to take it.
Off to a running start...

you have to go out to blaine or elk river to get rid of it. Call them first and ask what sort of containers (bags, boxes etc) they deem acceptable.
The Hennepin county website has all the information you could ever need about where you need to take things to get rid of them.
I had to divide that link to get it to fit, so you may have to play with it. I don't remember any of that fancy html..
