Hardwood floors: hardwood + labor + leveling floors for 1800 - 2000 ft house (one floor) was ~$6,000
Repaint the whole house: 300 bucks a room?
Redo the washrooms: $6000 - 20k depending what material you use.

We had to remove tub and put in shower; cost me 10k (and it was a rental property) so if you want something nicer.. then yeah...

Shelf in the kitchen: $3000 for town house
Counter tops: 3000-5000

Everything adds up. Seriously, are you going to do kitchen floors and not do cabinets? Once you do cabinets, are you still going to use your 25+ yr old coil range and 30+ yr old fan? Will u have new things and then use ur white and yellow fridge from 1998.

Bit here and a bit there, everything adds up. 80k for a house is barely do-able. Remember, whatever they quote you, add 20% to the quote. Then add another 20% for upgrades you want to do afterwards.
