Survey: Costs of Home Renovations in Year 2017

Per survey below as compared to costs of  our 2018 projects: We are long-term homeowners, above the median of $15k, but not in the 90th percentile in spending.

We went over our budget, eeek.
We tried to be careful: prioritizing in repairing/replacing what was most decrepit. At the end we did not have even enough for a new driveway (among the top 5 priority list at the beginning of our renovation journey).  May the Lord God provide in Year 2019!

Instead, we gave preference to renovating our floating-steps staircase. The stairs are the first things seen as the front doors open.  It connects the upstairs to the downstairs, and since much of the first and second floor areas got renovated, well,  you get my (matchy-matchy) drift ...

Every way of a man is right 
in his own eyes: 
but the Lord 
pondereth the hearts.
