I got a little further since I took those pictures, basically put up the mounting rails on the walls. I was going to start assembling cabinets yesterday but my wife is still looped from the combination of DST and her trip back east last week and went to bed at 8 pm. I might be able to get something put together today.

I took the time yesterday to inventory and stage the IKEA boxes in order of assembly, and set up my work area (a door laid across two sawhorses). I also made a list of a few more items I need to get from IKEA.

The kitchen sink we ordered from Lowe's was originally supposed to be here this week but it won't get here until April 21 at the earliest. I found an alternative, not exactly what I wanted style-wise but may be a better fit for the plumbing arrangement; I'll pick that up in the next few days.

Well, techincally two.  You'll need one after you sell the other.

Talk to a bank and find out.  Or maybe go to one of those newfangled e-bank websites and see what they requrie.

You need equity in the home.  The amount you can borrow is a function of how much equity you have.  To determine that, they subtract what you own on the house from their appraised market value.  The remainder is the equity.

The interest rates are market driven.  Shop around.
