As far as DEMO goes, I probably could have knocked the house down and started from scratch cheaper than SURGICAL DEMO, but the amount of time we saved in permitting, foundation, and first floor framing and flooring will HOPEFULLY make up for it.Demo labor was right at 4,500, I haven't got the bill from our machine guys but I expect it to be about 1k, and still haven't reconciled the amount of dumpsters we've used far but let's say 5-6 at 375 a pop 2,250k, that puts us at roughly 8k with the rest of the driveway to go at the end of the project we'll probably end up just north of 10k for all things DEMO related. 

I'm a 30 year old surgical/cardiovascular intensive care unit RN employed full time.

My cousin went for his cardio surgical specialty and something like 7 years of residency.For what you described, turnkey can work. 

I recently started a new role where I am scrubbing in for surgical valve replacement.

We have to reuse the same one and put a surgical mask over it to keep it from getting contaminated.

We had a similar issue with a much older home & yours may also be an easy fix if you have it assessed correctly.The poorly fitted gutter/flashing interface on our upper roof (to the right of the galvanized stack we removed) finally let go & a very small finger sized hole let in the moisture.The fix could have been a simple bandaid but I decided to replace the 1987 roof instead. (24 square on a Sunday with 8 guys helping $5k).But it then required the 'surgical' removal of one section of moldy kitchen ceiling drywall.

The resulting mail campaign will be much more 'surgical' than what I've put together previously...and hopefully with better results.

The framing might start splintering and warping... in short, you may end up surgically rebuilding the house.

I've spent 20 years building good relationships in my community through service and being a good friend and neighbor, but I am a new real estate investor, and two of my units are vacant (one from a the sudden death of a tenant), so I'll take all of the help I can get.It's a long story, but my friend's daughter is an incoming surgical resident at our teaching hospital here.

So if you're semi retired then I'd suggest a semi passive more surgical approach from the following menu (believe me if I could mix any more metaphors here I would) . or mix n match.
