Over the past year, I have finished off my attic!
It's been a learning and rewarding (and huge) project.
It would have been even a bigger project without the help I received from this site, specfically the help I recieved from questions I posted here in the 'attic' section.

Our 2 3/4 year old boy ran around the other day saying "IT's A ROOM, IT's A ROOM!"

I just wanted to give an official "THANK YOU" for all of your help.

By the way, I originally had someone give me a quote that did not include heat/AC, Paint, or carpet. He wanted 17,000.

I was able to finish the project for about $9000 but this included having someone install a heat pump, prime/paint, and install carpet.
I also had someone do some of the finishing work such as baseboards, doorway trim, railings, etc...

I saved about 14,000 doing this myself!

That is what DIY is all about. Saving money and the sense of pride when a project is finished.

Your son provided the ultimate feedback :)
