I agree with that, My CB suffers for it.
But nonetheless I know the Capital gain I make upon selling will be worth it.

[short1]

My wife and I have a small 900sq ft, 2bd, 1 bath. 2.5 car garage though(and it's all mine). Bought it 5 years ago, and thanks to the housing crash it's worth $20k less than I owe on it lol. Built in 56' so there's always something that needs to be done. We also have a sidexside duplex that won't make us any money for awhile but in 27yrs 2months it will lol.

Mods
New kitchen cabinets, tile floor, marble counter top & back splash

Basement walls finished in 2.5" wide Knotty Pine Wainscoting floor to ceiling.

Future mods;
Tear out the main floor existing full bath and 1/2 bath to make one large shared master bath. Get rid of one of the toilets and sinks and replace with 2 person jet tub and a stand up shower and his & her counter w/two sinks.

In floor heating and tile for the entire basement
Finish my garage/workshop. Once I get my Accord out of there....

All mods are DIY..... save a tone of cash when you can do the work yourself. Specially when you have friends that are electricians and plumbers to come in and sign the documents.
