Anyone Done a Whole House Renovation?

Ballpark 150 ft2

You can figure out flooring easily yourself by what you looking at price per Sq ft installed. Kitchens and baths is were the big money can come in depending what you want. Interior paint for that size I would estimate 7-10k. Do you need new ac ? Plumbing ?

Where is this house located

Dude you can't base estimates of random people off of TD. You need to know the location. You need to know what the inspection report tells you about the AC, the sewer, the plumbing, the foundation, the roof, and on and on.

What I paid for flooring may not be what you want to pay or what you want to put in your house. You may want stainless appliances, or need counter mount depth fridge size based on your cabinet depths.

Speaking of kitchen cabinets, what do you want? Custom? Shaker? Cypress? Stained or painted? What about molding? Basic or triple crown? Do you want regular corners or bull nose finish?

Do you see what I'm getting at? If you ask 15 people who have done this you will get 15 different answers because they each wanted or needed to do 15 different ways. You sound as if you have zero clue as to what you are doing or even how to go about it. Not trying to piss you off or offend at all.

You just sound like you are a sucker looking to get it up the arse based on having no idea how to go about this.

My advice: Find a developer/builder and stop looking for a great deal. With your lack of experience you'll be ripe for a reaming. Just build what you can afford and avoid the process you're asking about. It is in no way for amateurs.

What style are you going with? Just curious.

wives do enter the pic- we were going to replace carpet in bedroom, lead to new tile, new wood floors, cabs, granite, paint, bathrooms-

Make sure you truly love your wife before you start this process-

Yep!! But in the end i believe that if someone is looking to buy your house..... you can't go wrong with good flooring choices, a nice kitchen, storage/closet space and of course..... you gotta have a master suite.

Besides, like i say.... it's just some extra sheet rock work.
