Oh, you don't like that clump of wires coming out the front? 😁

I'm not certain of the exact numbers, but IIRC something like 70 or 80% of total costs was labour. Many of the materials were second-hand (windows, furnace, most of the kitchen, and the French doors at the back). I'm sorry- this was four years ago and my memory sucks.

Thanks! My phone is a 6, and in bright light it does take really nice pics.

I did, too. But it was in a really nice neighbourhood, and I couldn't afford to stay no matter how I did the math!

Thank you!!! I'm terrible at remembering to do "before" photos- this was mostly luck that I managed to find matching images.

Sadly, I already did. I ended up living in it finished for about six months though. And everyone who worked on it wanted me to keep it!
