Actually I was making a new point, nothing to do with recovering the cost of the initial investment. I just want to point out that the general argument about increasing the resale value of a house is not the proper criteria for any home improvement. Secondly, you always have to be careful about taxes going up and they must be included in your pay back calculations. Also taxes go on forever so theoretically you may never get paid back. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
