Day 9 - Oooops..To many wires 
Well, today was the day for the mess. Pulled down the soffits and got a surprise sorta. I new there were wires in the soffits. Figuring I could move them up and out of the way for sheetrock, there are just to many. There is also a vent pipe going threw one of them in the corner that does not go through the top plate of the wall. So the wires have to stay. The reason they did the wiring this way was because if you put to many holes going to the top plate of the supporting wall, you make it structurally unsound.

Sooo...somewhat of a setback and the first so far. The modification will be to put the soffits as far back to the wall as possible. Maybe half of the width of the above cabinets up to the ceiling. That seems to be the general agreement between Joyce, Donna, and Dominic.
