Yeah thats my thought as well, after having a house for 5 years. It's only 1700 sqft but its cost about $100k to replace 1) the siding with hardie board 2) the roof 3) all the bathrooms and kitchen This house was built in 1981 and basically had zero renovations. I can't imagine trying to remodel a 5000 sqft house after this!
