Looks awesome CAD
we might be doing a very similar project soon, completely remodeling a 1970s era house that hasn't been touched since it was built
1 owner, in an amazing location with a 2 acre lot, but needs so much work
I'm down, just trying to convince the wife that it will be worth the work and stress

you're gonna want to be as close as possible to your SO when you start because its going to get a bit rough along the way. house renos are like a 'stress test' for your marriage to see how strong it is

Don't dismiss a teardown and complete rebuild without serious thought. Sooo many POS homes are remodeled and they end up costing near or more than a new home and then you still might not have exactly want you want. There are good reasons to reno an old house but not as many as HGTV makes you think.
Remember, renovating a home is like building a new home but with an old home in the way.

Break it off into chunks. Right now I’m doing the envelope (new roof, soffit/facia/trim, doors and windows, generator and paint). That will stabilize the situation and then we can move to the inside.
One thing I did do first is build out a covered outdoor kitchen and a shower so that we can live like humans while the inside is gutted
