When we moved to a smaller house, there was no where for me to see. My DH added insulation, new wiring and lights, new subfloor and laminate floor, drywall, new door and all the trim molding. We spent $560. It is only 9x 11 but is works for me. I use a space heater in the winter and a window ac unit in the summer. It costs less than $20 a month on my electric bill. I have a TV with satellite out there as well as a stereo. I love it. It is a doable option.
