"The thing about houses," Mike's graduate school advisor said, "is that when something goes wrong, it either costs a grand, or five grand.  And then when it comes to remodeling a room, it usually costs 10 to twenty percent of the purchase price of the house."

We haven't tried remodeling yet.  Repainting, yep.  Wallpaper removal, yep.  Putting in garbage disposal, yep.

But I've found that the first bit of what Victor had to tell us is indeed correct.
