k - New to forum, Intermediate experienced DIY'er. 1940 house in cold, north location with snow from Nov to Apr...
Upstairs isn't so bad. Bathroom could use a remodel and moving fixtures around, but doing that means we need access to the basement to put the plumbing in for it. All the plumbing and gas lines are exposed downstairs, so it's easy access while the basement is unfinished. But if we mess with one system it effects another. I feel we just go around in circles and just don't know which to tackle first, and what - exactly - the order to do these in. I'd hate to get one project done, just to find when doing the next one, I've got to re-do the first. :s
Suggestions? Ideas?
- Entire house needs Electrical update / reorganize
- HVAC needs serious work and moving / re-routing
- plumbing. Don't get me started! Entire house could use re-plumbed (include sewer lines in that.)
- Basement: needs walls moving, outside walls all need insulating, and 1/3 of it needs finishing (just figure we're starting over 100% on the basement), add a bathroom with flush up toilet (or equivalent).
- Windows all need replacing & e-gress windows installed.
