I buy supplies, and keep up with pricing, do repairs, except for electrical, plumbing and A/C.

Making this particular bedroom bigger has three benefits: 1) bigger primary as I add ~100 sqft, 2) no need to change anything else except for face lift, 3) the garage is exactly below this bedroom and it's a single car garage, with this addition, it'll be two car tandem garage.
