Once you are laser-focused on where you want to be you can figure out how to get there, no different than driving somewhere new.  

The back end of the house slopes bad as well as the upper floor and there is a bowing support beam on the roof bowing down.

I love how on how flip shows this happens 9/10 times: People want an open floor plan (duh)Oh no, well need a support beam to take out a wall (duh x2) That wasn't in the budget  (why the f not?

The nature of our landscape is as the moisture changes the soil expands and contracts, thus playing havoc with foundations, whether they are slabs or pier and beam.  

BB gun, lawn chair, case of beer, high beam flashlight, long nights...repeat until problem fixed!

Is that light installed through a beam?

. $.32*5000= $1600 I plan to get the list and then print labels using my home laser printer.

New laminate (medium quality) flooring thru out ( exclude kitchen and bathroom)Medium priority:Kitchen: new light fixture, change door knobs, paint cabinetDining Room: remove two walls (verify first, to find out if they are wall supporting beams:)Entrance: Change light fixtures.Hope this helps.Cheers!

Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Roofing, Pier & Beam foundation, completely gutted at present.
