My house was a full gut job minus bathroom and the kitchen. Ran outta money fast. The part where I had to lift the house up and replace the foundation and basement wall smashed the budget.
Added a second bathroom, just finished remodeling the original bathroom.
New siding, roof, windows, doors, garage doors, door openers, add forced air heating and a/c, septic, all the plumbing and electric, insulation, drywall, trim, flooring, driveway, regraded the yard, deck, garage floor concrete, and on and on.
All that's left is the kitchen and well. Every other thing has been redone.
Probably would be in the same spot had I torn it down and built new. But I couldn't afford that so I just did what I could as time went on.
