My husband and I just purchased our first home, and it needs some work, mostly small, but a couple of big things too… We need to replace the roof, as most of the trusses were built with 2×2’s and could use to be beefed up. We’re also looking into the possibility of re-pouring the basement floor, which is concrete, but would give us the opportunity to replace some aging plumbing, etc. In addition, we need to replace most of the drywall in the home, as there’s no insulation in any of the exterior walls. Where should we begin, and what are we looking at spending on each of these projects? It’s a single story 1200 square foot house with a simple gabled roof… nothing fancy.
