> [@Willybeen](#): > > word… progress… how much time/money do you have invested into this project? Not sure, I think about $1900 or so, I still need carpet( which my good friend is doing cheap), I still need a little door for the closet, I still need Molding for the base, window molding, and countless other little things. Probably end up being another $1500 in shit to finish. I started around this time last year. > [@97FormulaWS-6](#): > > Nice… I HATE finishing drywall… Your not the only one. The attic has such crazy angles that I have to fill some big voids with mud and tape. Lots of sanding to do on some parts. ---

have you figured out how much this project will boost the value of your house? i know generally the amount you spend while doing it yourself, doubles the value on the house, for that area. ---

not really sure, I’m really not worried about upping the value, I just like how it looks. if I get my money back for what I paid for it if I was to sell it then I would be happy. I have added a lot of value with a big deck, french doors, granite counters, finished attic, and next spring I will side it and toss on a new roof. I will also be doing the bathroom in the spring as well. I have put a lot into it and it should up the value but its buffalo. ---

Looks like you had the same drywall finishing nightmare as I did. I am doing my bathroom right now, and trying to make the walls as easy as I can to drywall. > [@bobbyg1243](#): > > the only way to find out is to have it appraised. or wait till a neighbor with a similar house sells to see what it will really sell for.

Not planning on selling it anytime soon, I want to get a 100 acres or so somewhere and keep the house until the neighborhood turns to shit. Then hopefully just get my money back. I live in a strong Irish part of South Buffalo, so it should stay good for years to come. ---
