Some electrical $3k,  Gutters  $3k.  

What does R-30 insulation have to do with electric? 

Until you talk to them, it's just pie in the sky and you are likely wasting energy.

They seem to think it's too hard/time consuming for me but I'm younger and have way more energy and time to dedicate to this. 

I really like the positive energy u guys are bringing and the different ways to deal with things.

Make sure everything is safe and up to code (electrical, smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, etc.).

I am wondering if there are any websites the BP community uses that give accurate numbers such as;Average rent for your areaAverage PMI for your areaAverage electricity billAverage water, sewer, and garbageand so on....I have used a few websites that seem to give me accurate numbers but I would like to know if there are any better sites out there.  

Project scope: landscaping, new fence, new plumbing (from the main and in the house), new electrical, converted from oil to gas, new HVAC, water heater, reconfigured upstairs to include 2 BRs and a real full bath, gutted kitchen, new bathroom on 1st floor, refinished HW floor, new roof and gutters, repair fascia, soffits, siding, painting, concrete work on sidewalk and driveway, new basement windows, new door and windows on detached garage.

He "dropped the ball" on getting the electric called in and now because of the storm it could be many more weeks before we get power to the house.

i am looking at a house that needs some major work from the basement up.. total rehab new drywall and paint and carpet/tile and a new kitchen.. also needs electrical and furnace work as well... probably looking at least 25-30k in work.
