Original estimate for add-on was $65K with me doing all the Electrical work. As it progressed wife wanted this and that, then finally got to a point we actually removed all the interior walls and ceilings down to the studs for the entire existing house and I put in all new electrical (was only supposed to be doing the addition)
By the time the job was completed we spent about $100K
But that wasn't good enough, the next year she had to have all new driveway and brick work. That was $20K more. Now she wants a patio terrace type thing.
If that stupid show HGTV would just go off the air that would solve a LOT of the upgrades
Oh, forgot we rebuilt the garage and turned it into a studio type apartment, then put an overhead awning roof on it, but that wasn't good enough either, few months later she had to have an enclosed glass sun room.
Please - someone take HGTV off the air - it's in the interest of all married men.
