If you are not looking to sell your house soon , then try not thinking about what would increase the value and instead thinking about what would make your house more enjoyable to live in. My last 2 projects were finishing a part of the basement that is now my wife's craft room and I just finished a mudroom remodel. While both of these projects did increase the value our home it was not motivation for doing them. Of course we plan on being in our house for at lease 20 more years so making the house more enjoyable and livable is more important for us.

Time is not the issue, motivation however......

First I would clear the snow.
Then I would put in an in ground pool. With a glass dome to make it usable year round

Buy a new house. The one place I could afford needs so much work that it would cost less to smash it to bits and re-build than to fix it up. Still, if it weren't for the no-rent-anymore thing I wouldn't have a roof over my head at this point in my life, so there's that.
I'd like to insulate the garage and maybe put in a heat exchanger--but that's mainly so I could do more projects when it gets cold. If all of the problems (yey home ownership) were taken care of, I'd like to build up an outdoor kitchen patio with a permanent grill/pizza-oven. I'd also like to renovate the bathroom with a walk-in shower. It'd be cool to do some home automation.

My house is in great shape, everything is modern. I would MAYBE remove the jacuzzi tub that never gets used in the master and make the stand up shower super big. But then I'd have to get an electric water heater put in.... I'm tired already.
