[quote=Anonymous]I agree with everyone. You're looking at many hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you may have a lot of trouble finding contractors to do the work, if it's even possible, not to mention the building permits. It almost sounds like you'd like a totally different and brand new house, so tearing down and rebuilding what you want makes the most sense and is probably cheaper and more achievable. If you really don't want to tear down the house and start over, break the work up into pieces and contract out the individual parts. Plan out 1-2 remodels per year. Maybe start with the kitchen remodel and the screened porch. Realign your expectations - you probably won't be able to replace all of the pipes, and certainly not all at once. A 400sf addition is probably going to be $100k+ depending on the details. Adding bathrooms where they didn't previously exist may or may not even be possible depending on the plumbing access in that area of the house.[/quote]
