plus 2 heaters ($344 each) , fix and repair plumbing (we do this ourselves)  and electrical add ons,  2 new wood decks in the back.   

How are you planning to run electric wiring?  

As things stand here in NB for the moment, the best I can hope for from our energy efficiency and net-zero power efforts is reverse metering to the point of zeroing out my bill with the electrical utility.  

City water is best.You should also find out about the electric.

Their main concern is roof, electrical or water damage on an older home when there was a patch instead of having the entire roofing, electrical or plumbing system replaced.

I would like to inspect the utilities and the electrical before closing on the property but it's all shut off.

Spend that fixing plumbing, electrical, roof, hvac, ceiling issues and appliances.

Good mechanical systems, roof is about 14 years old, but it's a grandma's house. 20 year old bathrooms, even older kitchen, doors and moldings are banged up from electric wheelchair.I own it outright, and have the cash to rehab it.Problem is that I may be going into a much bigger commercial project (2 hours away), so I don't have time for a diy rehab.

It has fuses instead of a modern electrical box. 

The scope of work I included earlier in this thread is pretty general, but here is exactly what the electrician will be doing today.Install outlets for washer and dryer in first floor apartmentInstall circuit for furnace in atticInstall circuits for counter top GFCI and dishwasherDemo electric heat in 2nd floor apartment
