Remember I said February is our snow month. My friend the southern jet stream which brings all the snow storms to the Midwest finally kicked in. 12" on the flat. Much neded moisture for sure. That's 'Chief Joseph' sticking his head out of the snow to get some air and show off. Dave This post was edited by Davesconifers on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 14:04

How far in repairs can $100,000 go -- in the Midwest?

I don't think there's any way you can do all that you list for $100,000 unless you do a ton of the work yourself. I lived in in a 4 square St. Paul for 4 of the 9 years we were in MN and am now in greater Chicago - prices aren't all that different for labor and in fact, they are probably cheaper here. I wouldn't be surprised if you get quotes of $10,000 for electric and I assume that you'll be adding outlets; $5-10000 for plumbing; roof would be anywhere from $2500 - ? depending on the condition of the sheathing and whether you go with shingles or tile. If tile, tens of thousands; furnace and boiler - why do you need both? The cost of a boiler alone will start at around $3000-4000 and go up from there. Furnace will be more. Add installation. You don't mention if you have radiators or will need ductwork. If ducts, add on for that; a kitchen - you haven't mentioned the specifics of what you are thinking - that could be $20,000-$100,000 depending on whether you need cabinets, appliances, flooring, lighting etc and how upscale you go; Bathroom - cost of the tile which, depending on your taste, could run from a couple of hundred to $3-4000. Then installation which'll probably be around $2000; gutters including installation - we had this done on our garage this summer for $750 including the parts - a house will be more; floor refinishing - we had our St. Paul 4 square done, both floors, in 2000 for $1400; Fixing where the porch is torn off - no clue on that one; no clue about stucco. Lucy's right - keep 20% for the "unexpected" - you'll spend it. In any project, it's the labor that's the killer. If you do work yourself, you'll save a ton. If you general contract yourself, you'll save alot. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I think you'll be very surprised at how fast $100,000 can go through one's fingers.

Molding, trim, doors - How far should we go?
Q

Consistency is best, but there can be a certain consistency in non-uniformity. Are the stained windows within one room? Are the french doors? One option that you have that also has historical antecedents is a stained door with white trim, windows/ trim, and baseboards, and you could do this throughout the house for a certain amount of consistency. If the windows with the stained trim are all in one room, perhaps that entire room could have stained woodwork. Note that doing stain grade doors throughout the entire house can get relatively pricey. The key is to have a rather consistent plan or hierarchy and following it.

We walk...next door...on Christmas day...and open presents, have dinner, eat too much, have coffee and celebrate the neighbor's birthday at 8:34pm (the moment she was born). We've been doing this about 15 years now. We love our neighbors like they were family. Jodi-

Yoyo, that is mean! I had two Christmas titles by Agatha Christie to add!
How about Santa Baby? Two titles there, one is short stories by Lisa Jackson et alia and the other is similar with one of the stories written by Jenny Crusie. I wanted that one but was a bit careless with my order!
