So here are my “before” pictures, and general scope of work and timeline that we planned to do at time of purchase (I’ll update later what all we finally decided actually do and more pictures)plan was to open up this wall by removing the pantry, more open concept feel.master 1/2 bathmaster bedroom...in good shape, all the BR's were fine. guest bath, functional, but not in great shape or updatedbedroomroom addition, overall also functional, just not updated - windows were in bad shapethere was a plumbing leak and some water getting in near the bottom of the foundation on the back wallstorage roomdeck needs replaced, very bad shape - not installed properly or maintained at allGeneral Scope of work for our plan:New roof/guttersReplace a few windows that were brokenPaint interior and exteriorNew Deck/PatioBasic landscapingConvert/update master ½ bath to a full bath by bumping out into the kitchenUpdate guest bath: new vanity, tile flooring, new tub, tile surroundFinish basementNew electrical boxUpdate HVAC in existing room addition: install a mini-split since there was very outdated window unit AC and baseboard heatNew trim throughout entire houseOpen wall between entry room and kitchenNew kitchen cabinets/granite countertops, updated layoutNew hardware/appliances/finishesMitigate basement water, fix foundation bowing walls.New driveway/front walk-wayOur initial budget for all of this was about $70-$80k.

I like swiss coffee http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/1812 with pure white for ceiling and trim.

All the heavy stuff.The handyman I would use for hanging doors, paint, trim, laminate flooring, hanging cabinets, installing fixtures, hooking up sinks, etc. 

@Patrick PhilipIt's as obvious as many initially think.While we fix-and-hold as opposed to flipping, the renovation part is the same.When possible (ie. following a full gut), we paint before installing finish flooring cabinets and trim - much easier and, you should paint - or at lease prime and seal - the drywall behind your cabinets.  

If one is using hardwood trim and the other is using pine trim that will reflect in the estimate and will create a skewed comparison.

Several rooms will need drywall, paint, trim, doors, and some electrical (can lights, fireplace inserts, appliances).

What is everybody putting up for trim work.

Routered, sanded, made all the matching trim.

It's called an unskilled laborer- unpacking and setting up the tools, moving the lumber, setting up the jobsite with tarps, running and getting coffee, running to Home Depot for that piece of trim that just broke, etc.

For example, the $1500 for painting would get me a 3-color paint scheme in Atlanta (ceiling, walls, trim)...for this house, I'm expecting a 2-color paint scheme (ceiling/walls and trim).I'm guessing that labor prices here are about 20% more than Atlanta, but I haven't verified that yet.
