Well, I put in a hot tub, and built a new deck as well as put in new electrical service and redid the kitchen with granite tile tops and new sink with new plumbing.
Not only that, but the market has jumped considerably out here. A house that was 100k 3 years ago, is now worth 150-167k. It's quite a jump.
