/diy/ - Do It Yourself

All in, i've spent 15 grand finishing this room.
Only thing I didnt do myself was the rough plumbing- it was such a long run, getting the fall right for the turd shoot... It's a long way to the septic tie-in in the backyard and the water supply had to come from the main house (this is a detached garage) I procrastinated for years on this, mainly because I was not sure of my plumbing skills. Local plumber came over and his two young sons knocked out the waste in one day (I did the necessary digging) They did the water supplys to the vanity shower and toilet( which they did in Pex which I dont like) in a half day.

It's mind blowing to me how much the cost of materials have skyrocketed. When I built the house, 2x4's were like 2 bucks a piece, now, theyre $8. 3/4" plywood hit 90+!! (used to be like 23 just a few years ago but its coming back down now as the economy imploedes). THe Velux venting skylight was 300 back in 2012 now its 900.
I feel for you younglings, The Demoncrats and their globalist handlers have fucked you over royally.
