Quoted from Richthofen:First of all, 60k looks like a steal for the amount of materials and labor this must have taken. You rent heavy equipment and operators like that and shit cost adds up quick. Nice work managing the budget!
Second, yeah I think knowing it’s “only” 60k means if you’re in the neighborhood for the rest of your life then not moving and just adding on makes sense. And unlike a pool, a finished basement actually adds value. Garages and finished basements are often high on buyers lists. Pools are a giant headache and probably don’t add any real value IMHO. I just use the indoor, year round, heated pool at the JCC in my neighborhood.
I noticed you did a lot of the plumbing yourself. What would you say the split is between your work and contracted work?
Been following for awhile.....impressive project!!! No way I could pull that off anywhere close to $60k up here. Suspect your ROI is a given, knowing your family will enjoy it, and a bump in value of property.
Only thing that has had me confused...why only duplex outlets in the 4x4 boxes, given you'll be plugging a gazillion pins into them (maybe I'm not seeing the pics correctly)? Any pics of the "Mod Couple Laboratory?" That would be interesting. Given the amount of product that rolls through there, guessing you have a pretty nice setup. Separate facility?
