Demo Party! and Mobile Home Renovation hints appreciated!

[haele]

Okay we came into some cash, ran a lot of numbers and considered our situation, and purchased an "as is" 1970 1562 sq. ft. double wide that had been maintained well and had had AC added in 2002. (Well, maintained well except for when the owner apparently decided he could save money doing his own work around 6 years ago - looks a newly-retired shipyard worker thought since he had the time, he could DIY - bein' a retired shipyard worker myself, I recognize the signs...)
So, after two inspections we need to:
- Rip up the existing original carpet and fix the soft spots in the sub-floor
- Replace the carport steps (not original to the mobile home, wrong height) and carport door.
- Replace the main entry door (idiot tried to frame and set it himself, didn't finish the framing or seal the wood door, so everything in cracking)
- Replace the "back porch" door to the add-on rooms; idiot put a storm door instead of an entry door, and anyone could take the rusted hinges off and enter the house through the sun room and the large doggie door at the add-on foyer that room was attached to. He also cut the same huge doggie door into the original steel entry door, which rather defeated the purpose of security. We can replace the foyer and the original entry door later, but for now, the three actual entry doors need to be replaced.
- Replace the two large front-room windows (we're too close to the freeway to not have dual pane there)
- Replace the kitchen window (leaks, need dual pane)
- Replace master bath window.
- Fix minor plumbing in two bathrooms and the kitchen sink.
- Replace the shower stall and shower fittings in the master bath (old, corroded fittings, and moldy)
- Replace the leaking and corroded bathtub in the second bath - which does not have a shower.
- Replace chipped sink.
- Replace kitchen cabinets around the sink, where there was damage from a previous leak.
- Replace master bath cabinet (previous leak damage)
- Minor electrical beyond fixing polarity in outlets - which I can do -(i.e., bad splice repairs, putting in GFI outlets, 220 repair, hard-wiring overhead fans into a switch plate, add an outdoor outlet near sheds under carport for "work&quot
- Cut out base cabinets under stove top and surrounding counter-top (70 ft)
- Replace stove top and wall oven (both original and not working properly) with new stove.
- Replace existing "too low" stove hood (19 inches above gas stove top) with more flush-mount (adding 8 inches in height) to overhead cabinets. Spray fire retardant material in surrounding cabinetry.
- Re-frame refrigerator "cabinet"- owner had improperly cut out original tower cabinet to get a new one in. We're probably going to just go with a shelf framed in instead of trying to keep it a cabinet with doors.
- Re-configure wall oven tower (cap off the gas line under the floor) for a microwave and perhaps a small appliance station (for kitchen aid stand mixer, etc.)
- Drain pan to go under washer/dryer.
That's the "Need to Dos". Seller had to re-seal the roof as part of the sale (we observed process, have the receipts for materials, and had the inspector look at it again)
Want to do's:
- Bamboo flooring throughout main rooms, cork tiles in bathrooms,
- Paint over the paneling, repaint the ceiling.
- Replace some other windows in the add-on room with dual-pane windows that do not open.
- Replace the "doggie door" doors
- Re-configure "master suite" for easier access to the bathroom; currently, the bathroom is accessed through a hall beyond the huge walk-in closet where there's also a funky make-up vanity with a marble (or marble-like stone) top; we're tearing that out anyway, but the bathroom doorway is only 27 inches wide, and we want it wider and want to take some of the 8x6 closet space (we might use half of it, if we also store everything else we aren't using in the house) to get us a larger opening.
-Use Forza Stone in the master shower (a 54 x 36 alcove shower )vice a plain shower stall surround. I have searched and searched, and have no idea how much that stuff costs...
- Landscaping (there is a back yard and side yard areas and we can do that at our leisure.)

Okay, first question is, what do I rip out with my party? I know I'll probably want to do the cabinet rip-outs when I have the plumber and appliance people come in (because I'm not doing my own plumbing or gas appliance installation), so do I just start with the carpeting?
The kitchen and original hall entries are rolled linoleum. The bathrooms are linoleum tile. Since I'm planning on installing a floating floor "ourselves" to save money and to ensure the quality of the installation, should I attempt to take up the kitchen and hallway along with the carpet and the tiles or just float the floor over them?

Second - as we still do have a budget around $30K, what in our "need to do" list should we think about doing ourselves? Keep in mind there are just two of us, and one is fully disabled.

Any recommendations for good sources/manufacturers or ones to keep away from would also be most appreciated. We already know that Lumber Liquidator has a high wastage percentage, but we would like some hints on how best to find materials that are good and cheap - or re-used.

Or if anyone in the San Diego area is interested, we'd certainly accept the help...
