The $80,000+ was only in materials. He and his dad did all the work themselves as a father / son project so I don't blame him for his reaction.
Oh and he does live on the corner.

I get the not chasing money part and sure there are factors like oh you really loved the house or the neighborhood etc but shiet even if I spent 300k on renos if I'm getting 2-3 times assessed value I'm laughing all the way to the bank. I'm sure there might be momentary sadness but when you realize holy fuck how much did I just cash in I'm sure he'll be fine.
