Kitchen facelift part 1: Repairing water damaged laminate countertop

Revamping Mom's house, and dealing with mid 80's kitchen counters. The original installers didn't seal the corner seam properly, and it was infiltrated by water and swelled the particleboard core. 

Rather than do an expensive counter replacement, I want to try resurfacing. To do that, I need to get a decent and level surface as a base, so I'm trying to do what I can to make that happen. 

In this case, I'm cutting out a section of damaged laminate so I can get the base back to a flat surface that I can work from.
