[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this thread.  It's made me feel better about the cost of my improvements.  I'm in PG County

Spring-summer 2020 - painted living, dining, kitchen, upstairs common area and 3 bedrooms.  Cost was a few hundred for paint and supplies.  I think the labor I put into this helped me cope a bit with COVID shutdowns.

Summer 2021 - Converted a small (10x20) detached garage into a gym.  This cost about almost $9,000 for labor and materials and that included the cost of bringing electricity (lots of digging) into the space, getting the walls and ceiling insulated and drywalled.  I waterproofed the concrete foundation and patched up the concrete floor just enough to put rubber mats on top and I also painted.  As someone who works out religiously, it was absolutely worth it.

Currently - I'm having the main bathroom renovated (slightly bigger than standard size and with high ceilings).  It's a complete gut. Labor is $15,000, building materials is prob going to be about $4000 by the end.  Tile and fixtures were about $5000 (kind of high end).  This included demo, reframing of the floor (to fix a crappy previous job), relocating all fixtures, and replacing old rusty main drain pipe.

My next project is the basement, which I'll probably have to do piecemeal or do a lot of the finishing work myself to get within budget.  [/quote]
