Thanks! We did a fair bit of work when we bought the house 4 yrs ago and now are thinking... what of the hundred other things we could do should we attack before we sell? We're cautious obviously about investing too much with the market as it is (seeing how we bought at the absolute wrong time...) but think that we need to do some things for us to be more comfy while we're here and also so that when we sell in a few yrs we'll at least help the cause.

I would first hire a home inspector to get you a detail report. Create a priority list obviously safety and required code would be top of your budget after that speak to a Realtor and see what buyers are looking for in that area or neighborhood. Budget yourself and get the bids from licensed contractors. If you do plan to work on the home get proper permits from the county and understand the codes.
