That's right. I greatly appreciate the clarification!

Thank you for your input! I should have been more clear in my original post, the house currently uses hot water heating and has no AC. I was considering having duct-work put in and replacing the original installation. The alternative would be to install ductless mini-split air conditioner or ductless mini-split heat pump.

Hey all,

Long time reader, first time poster. Looking at buying a home in Philadelphia that needs some work and would appreciate some more experienced eyes going over the numbers.

- Finish basement 15,000

- Flooring in bedrooms 3,000
