Built a 2nd bathroom for $1000

[Wesley Smith]

I think the success story I'm most recently proud of is turning a 1100 sq ft 4 bed/1 bath into a 3 bed/2 bath with a master walk-in closet for a total of $1000. Got the sink, tub, shower, toilet off craigslist for $300 total. The rest was spent on hardware (plumbing, electrical, 2x4's, sheet-rock etc.) My partner and I did the work our self. When we show'd the house the master w/ bathroom and walk-in closet was always their favorite feature. Definitely worth losing one bedroom.

Great use of the space! Craigslist can be used for some wonderful things.
