Cost/Benefit Analysis

Okay, well, I got a quote from Joel the handy-dude to finish the workshop. The good news, is that it will take about a week and he can start on Monday. The bad news ... it's going to cost about $1800 in materials and about $2900 in labor. So, I am now pondering whether I am motivated enough to spend the next 3-4 months working my ass off on it every waking minute or whether I should just add it to the "home improvement" box and figure that it will increase the value of the house when the market improves ...

I think my lack of delayed gratification and the fact that I have spent almost the entire last 10 years renovating this house will mean that I could have a completed workshop by the end of the month!!!!
