Kitchens workout to be something like min of 4 circuits: stove/oven if electric, two on the counter (we have microwaves and toasters), the lights have their own circuit, the range fan maybe---- okay... thats more than 4 and I don't know, that's what my licensed electrician is for.Oh, is there a fuse box or circuit breaker panel? 

We'll be able to get some ballpark figures on the big pieces, like solar, septic, well, etc., but we'd definitely be learning as we go along, which means there will be a lot of financial variables that we won't know about at the outset. 

I usually look carefully at the most expensive things:1) Foundation/Slab - small cracking and movement are no big deal, but a large crack, settling, displacement can cost a fortune to fix.2) Plumbing - esp cast iron sewer and galvanized ( or old copper) supply lines.3) Electrical - Knob/Tube, old original romex, no grounds, small main panel.4) Structure - Check the attic (and crawlspace if there is one).

Depending on your set-up you can generate power through solar or wind which you cannot do with gas.6.

I'd love to connectI considered going but the price approaches BPCon with a speaker list less established than many single panels at BPCon.  

We are looking to remodel our home to resell and we are stuck on what to do with the floor for maximum home value improvement.Our one bed/one bath home has hardwood in the living room and bedroom, however, there are different styles of vinyl wood panel in the kitchen and bathroom.

While Rhode Island Energy will subsidize smaller improvements (e.g. a new Google Nest Thermostat is $75 off), RI and RISE can either directly subsidize or provide you with the info to subsidize new windows, solar, blow-in insulation and more.

If you are class c with carpet and wood paneling granite will not add value but require leas maintenanceIn a $750k home you better have granite…I agree a dishwasher, washer dryer and parking are more valuable.

@Kyle JohnsonJust for an out of the box idea: To assist in funding your new roof: many solar companies offer financing that includes the cost of the roof along with solar installation.

While we don't do remodel work (e.g. garage conversions), I've heard from contractors who do that the typical range for all-in costs is ~$100-120K.2) ADUs are not as wild west: in the early years, we saw inconsistent application of requirements for things like upsizing water meters & lines, soils reports, surveys, electrical panels, stormwater management (all depending on property specifics & jurisdiction).
