[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 106870, member: 1288"] In my opinion, an unnecessary upgrade is one that can be done at some point down the road and doesn't require a great deal of money. There certainly is a huge difference between cheap cabinets and quality cabinets, but the differences between good and excellent cabinets are much tougher to distinguish. I don't see the point in buying specialty wood cabinets stained with children's tears. I'll be content sticking within (or just above) the allowance to get something that's nice, but not outrageously priced. We plan on putting in the best windows that we can afford. As for the "special" rooms, we'll have plenty of space to have our separate hobby rooms until the family grows by another 1-2 people. I made the garage big enough to allow for additional work space once my basement becomes overrun with children's toys. The third stall garage door was widened to 10ft. I will also have plenty of room to build a shop later on, so I'll have all the room I need some day. I'm mainly concerned about the "little" things that tend to be overlooked while going through the building process. Unfortunately, the wife is leaving most of the stuff up to me, and I'm fine with that. I want to have a part in the design because I have to live there too. [/QUOTE]
