> [@neonglh](#): > > When you do projects like this yourself, what’s a good budget for lumber / drywall / materials. Is $1000 for an average sized room a good estimate? I don’t have a solid number, but carpet was about $1500 plus the underlayment, plus insulation, plus drywall, bathroom stuff wasn’t cheap (another $2000), the doors between the 4-6 panel doors and the closet doors were about another $1000. Then the windows roofing, siding, plywood, studs for reframing, electrical, etc etc… I am probably about 10-15k deep on the remodel. X… ---

Super nice! It is almost identical to what me, my Uncle and my Grandpa did to my parents old place. We only did a half bath though, no shower. Now I need to get off my ass and transform my attic into living space. ---

Great work. Did you need town approval to add the “second peak?” ---

Thanks for the compliments guys! It was a lot of work, especially since I went from one house remodel to the next. I think it’s time for me to focus on cars again! x… ---

I bet you get way more return on the 20K invested up there then if you had spent it on car mods. ---
