That said, and making a few presumptions like this is for hobby or pleasure and not necessity, you have a pile of challenges ahead.
The largest I see is being or appearing to be a decidedly right brained female with zero admission of any relevant experience or knowledge to make the major, involved, expensive, obvious repairs to the house. Couple that with no knowledge of vehicle mechanics. All of this is either necessary to possess or prohibitive, short of a very ample budget.
Speaking of, Your budget is the next largest concern. Even IF you knew how to make the obvious repairs and had the capability and tools (you don’t own tools, you have access to tools, 2 different things, also for obvious reasons), just the couple things mentioned cost more than your whole budget. And you admittedly only know what you know right now on a 43 year old piece of equipment with twice as many systems as a vehicle.
Lastly, your general statement about updating “as efficiently (read , no money) and eco - friendly” (read, no idea what that means or what it costs) seals the deal.
Great dream, not enough resources to be a good reality.
