Its a build in progress. Started on nov 29 Wife wanted more space. I wanted a comic book room/ theater. So had alittle money saved up from selling off some comics. Did some searching. Bought most of lumber from auction. But still had to pay home depot about $6000. Drew up the plans got approved. Then watched a few utube videos. Of roof removal with a crane. I figure if they can why cant I. Removed roof on a friday had it placed baack on by monday. My neighbor helped me frame 1200 sqft top floor in few days. Cost so far less then $12,000 most labor I have done. When all done we should be under $18sqft. But I will have my room 10x 20.

 

I will update room when all done about 3 months away

Humble house

I want to thank everyone that has made a comment. Also big thanks to anyone that has bought a book from me inthe last 6 months or so. Because in some way you have helped fund this. Now yes i have sold most of all my graded comics. So i will be restocking soon. It was a agreement with wife that when house was done. Refinace and pull some equity for comics around $15,000 is what i could get her to agree on. So be posting update in 3 months of finished house/ comic book room.

Seeing that tjanse is building an entire room makes mine seem a little lame. But I figured I'd share it anyway.

I'm just glad I have a room now. All of this used to be in a closet with a few pictures hung throughout my old place. I just hope that I'm able to have a spare room like this when I move next time.

Interesting mix of sports teams you follow. Do you move a lot?
