Help needed for my kitchen DIY project

[Larisa Van Valkenburg]

Hi,

I decided to get more cabinet space in my kitchen, so I am inserting a cabinet on the place of the trash compactor, I cut out the lenolium to level it and I need to pull up the countertop. How would you deal with it? I did not see any screws there? Would you use the hammer to pull it up?  I need one inch or inch and a half to get it on its place.  The counter top, the wall side of it is the obstacle. Please advice,

Thanks.
