When you say "It would be cheaper to buy than to build," how much are you anticipating a job like this costing? I mean, just rough order of magnitude, $60K? $100K? $150K? I'm a very DIY guy, so I'm capable of a lot. At the same time, I recognize that lifting a house is beyond my comfort level. But then, the houses that we're looking at are not worth lifting to add a floor. Seriously.

Thanks for the feedback,
