The water went down to the basement from the kitchen ground and the ceiling of the basement was completely ruined (I finished the basement not long ago).

I retro fit them into the ceilings to replace old light fixtures.The last time they went this low I bought 50 & used them all before I could get more.

Some signs its not to code would be wood doors to units, fire-rated drywall not installed on basement ceilings, or units without two egresses. 

Every neighborhood, I'm assuming even in Canada, has a price ceiling.

It excludes the painting, flooring, appliances ceiling fans and removing a freestanding shed in the backyard which obviously adds to the total.

All flooring has been removed, a lot of sheetrock in the ceiling and walls have been removed, much of the insulation has been removed and the kitchen cabinets and bath vanities have been removed.

It was an all day task but I think it looks way better.Wife and I talked about reinstalling the cabinets at ceiling height but I like it much better being open like this.

I just need to dig down 18in to make ceiling height 8ft.

A remodel was started but abandoned, it's sat for five years, the roof leaks and has now destroyed the ceiling.

I mean house built in 1890 with 100% drywall, including ceilings, brand new HVAC (heat pump), brand new water heater, bathrooms, etc.
