I was asking a serious question, simply trying to better understand the answer to the earlier poster's question about what activities could be considered a remodel, property improvement, etc. for purposes of Home Equity Loan/HELOC/Refinance interest deductibility. I wasn't being snarky, or trying to debate for the fun of it or to piss you off. I apologize if it came across that way. I have no intention or desire to debate this with the IRS, a judge, or anyone else. I simply wanted to improve my understanding of where the line is between home improvements and repairs before I fund them with a Home Equity loan.
