[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.

There are houses of every size in our neighborhood, from our cottage with 3 small bedrooms, to ones with massive additions, and brand new houses with 5/6 bedrooms. For us to move, not including closing costs, selling our house, etc, it would be around $150-200K more in house, and we would still end up doing the work.

Look at how much it is going to cost you in the long run.  If you get a HE loan or line of credit you will end up paying significantly more for the project in interest  - is that worth it to you?  And - the final price will end up costing much more than you think it will - and even more than the piece-meal quotes you are getting right now.   Do you have a basement or other room you can use as a family room?  I read somewhere recently that the rate of return on family room additions isn't as much as you think.  I would think for your money the bigger bang for your buck would be in adding the second bathroom to the house from an investment standpoint.
