Where to start???

There's a couple of big items that need to be done to this place.  The house has been abandoned for some time and during that time it was squatted and lightly vandalized.   When I say "lightly", there have not been any major holes punched through walls and no spray paint.   What they have done is write with markers on the walls and they stole most of the copper piping in the house.   Luckily they were lazy and didn't steal the stuff in the walls, just what they could see outside the walls and in the basement.   But replacing the pipe will surely be our biggest expense.   Next is going to be carpets and fixing some basement leaks.   Then, both kitchens will need to be redone.   Normally, this is where people spend a tremendous amount of money, but we've found used appliances and HFH cabinets, so we're actually looking at remodeling each kitchen for less than $1500.
