Pour a new double width concrete beam foundation , and have a good brick layer rebuild those pony walls.

Insurance will cover the cost of rebuilding.

I'll throw this out there in case anyone thinks it should also be in the mix with the other projects.I have a large-acreage rural tract in an area with moderate seasonal tourist population demand for outdoors activities (hiking, camping, hunting, etc.) that I'd like to explore developing in the following ways:D1) Rebuild uninhabitable existing home as LTR, STR, and/or family vacation home and a place for someone in the family (maybe myself) to retire eventually.

West of Market" (Street) in Kirkland is also a good spot to invest in as there is a lot of tear down and rebuild potential.But if you are going to buy something for $1m, I would focus on the land value and the potential to redevelop.  

All the general contractors are already busy rebuilding Santa Rosa, Paradise, etc, so you'd have to offer enough to lure/poach them from that.

For example, will we have to salvage original materials, source materials similar to the original, rebuild to original spec etc. 

Here reviews can include additional City improvement work requests like rebuilding sidewalks or installing street trees ect, these are all negotiable and is what I do...but the attorney could do this instead.Ministerial reviews are the portion where you are physically creating the condo.
