I'm looking for something like this idea:1.) demo2.) tile/carpet/granite3.)

Install new tile in kitchenand baths.

(salt water melts iced goo quicker).i would replace/reset the wax ring (they also make waxless now: rubber cone or foam type). i like to use 2: one is the oversize one, and a regular one to "butter" around any gaps to the connecting tile floor.i would use some lye (about twice per year) (please no drano) or baking soda and vinegar left to bubble followed by large amounts of water.extreme DYI: use a dry/wet vacuum on the push (NOT pull) setting

Already has backsplash, tiled countertop, tile floors in bathrooms.

I had one where the (unreported) day care included infants without diapers in a pen on the tile floor. 

Since this was my first time working with my lender, he asked to see my quotes and referred me to get a second quote, saving me 5k in a tile job that I wouldn't have picked up on since the quote came from a guy that's worked with both me and my parents in the past.

I'm getting about 5-6 hours of sleep but it's been more than enough, and I've actually been sleeping sounder than before (I think it's because I know I'm actively pursuing REI and getting the most out of my day; I'm not laying there trying to sleep but thinking "I should be looking more into this investing thing").  

I love how you lay everything out and the kitchen is great!. 

With the right people, you can do granite/hardwood, but choose a cheaper tile for the floors, and a $7k kitchen can look like a $20k retail kitchen.

Flooring (newer carpet/tile/laminate) are good choices, fresh paint on the walls, and decent counter tops are probably a good start.
