First of all, congratulations! I think I'd recommend a visit to your local building office (permit office) to get acquainted with the requirements. Depending on where you live, you may need a permit if you plan on doing any plumbing, heating, structural or electrical changes. The building office will let you know. You can always proceed without permits, but if there's a fire or flood later, the insurance company might deny a claim on any work that isn't to code or done without a permit.
As for what to do with the house, I think I'd do the remodel if the house is in character with the neighborhood. Roofing is pretty straightforward and easy. Drywall is something I'd farm out, since you can generally hire it done for just a little more than the cost of materials (the pros get a good discount). And speaking of discounts, make sure you ask the lumberyard or home center for discounts. If you have a big order, you can often save 20-30%.
