In general: (1) I think we will need to hire a foundation company to seal the foundation, (2) I think we need to clean the place out & that will take a minimum of 4 dumpsters, (3) the flooring needs to be replaced throughout the house, we need a good flooring guy to go in and get that done, (4) the heating system needs to be replaced, (5) the radiators throughout the house need to be replaced, (6) the kitchen needs to be re done (new cabinets, new counters), (7) the bathroom needs to be re done, (8) walls throughout the property need to be finished, there is bare sheet rock everywhere, (9) trim needs to be added everywhere, (10) staircase rails need to be added, (11) the entryway needs to be completed, (12) front door needs to be replaced, (13) electric needs to be upgraded.
