Not really.  We had thought to remodel until the builder and architect estimated 35k just to put a real foundation under the existing house.  Then after further assessment, the existing structure just didn't support a remodel so much as a rebuild from a new foundation.  So, we opted for a training burn for my fire department and will break ground tomorrow for the new house.  A much better house too.  Meanwhile we are looking for a steam vent to plant our refrigerator cartons over....  actually found a condo to rent reasonably here in the tiny town of Ruston.

That does sound like a serious project.
Good luck!

Now I'm doing battle with the gas company re: their unauthorized tee from my line to the neighbor's house.  It holds up my project.

I'm thinking that $1279. per day for holding up the project and also some kind of charge for the unauthorized easement since 1995.  Their own legal dept should wake them up.
