I would not. I think that's what we're looking at here.

They didn't sit on it for a few years.
They let the siding blow away in the wind. Then right after that they traded all the windows for twice as many but lower quality ones and some cash, and now half don't do anything to keep the wind out most nights. Next they paid someone to take the stove that only needed a little repair work and replaced it with an equally expensive yet high quality older model.
Then they traded some newer door knobs for some older more reliable door knobs. Then they traded a high end dishwasher for a newer model and some cash. Next they sold the fridge for some cash and just used a camping cooler in its place until the new one arrived.
Next they sold off the old water heater for lots of cash, a brand new high end furnace and a Russian humidifier. Then they sold off the security system for some cash and an electric fireplace.
Sold all the plumbing fixtures for some cash and a ladder. Stripped out the hardwood flooring, sold the scrap for some cash and bought a few odds and ends from the re-use it store.
After that they sold the front door for cash and some really solid hardwood flooring. Then they sold some burned out light fixtures for some cash.
Next they traded a bathroom mirror, the russian humidifier and some cash for a washer/dryer combo.
Then they bought some new cabinets from the re-use it store.
Finally they stripped the roof off, found a sucker to take it all and pay cash, and put on a temporary fix. Rebiggle over.
