That is what I was thinking might happen... The articel I read made it sound like it was affordable and that usually implies that it is not the best way.

I am not afraid of a little work, but I am not staying in this house after 4-6 years and don't want to put too much into, but hope to raise my value in sweat equity... Of course the market right now isn't helping, but it still went up almost 10 grand in 2 years! I got a good price on the house.

I grew up helping my Dad rebuild our house and others that he owns or flipped. He was alos and electrician. So I know my way around the job site, but I think I know just enough to be dangerous...

Next house I will put a deck on it. Unless the house comes with one.
