What actual the fuck? Amazon tax is real.
That includes removing the oil heat, putting in electric heat, re-running ducting, turning our shitter in a plywood box into an ensuite, covering concrete flooring, and building walls on cinderblock foundation. It would be a total remodel - down to the foundations and beams. Also assume an earthquake retrofit where they use giant lag bolts to screw the footers into the foundation. Not saying that's cheap, cause labor ain't around here, but there's a lot of work hidden in there.
Edit: Describing it as half finished was probably wrong. Half the square footage has a room size area rug, fake wood panel on concrete walls, and drop ceiling glued to the floor joists above. The high side was basically for magazine design. I figure it woulda been like $125k.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
