The house I want isn't available, so I'm going to buy the closest thing and make the changes I want... building a pizza oven is a lot of time and effort, but tearing it out isn't. I'm not sure how much a pizza oven adds to the price of a home, but I'm guessing, not that much because most people aren't going to understand its value ... anyway, as a buyer it's not like I'm getting a list of features I can refuse some of, the house is being sold with the pizza oven and I'll deal with it when it's mine.

Exactly. One person bought a house and added a pizza over because he wanted it, another bought it and removed it because he didn’t want it.

It’s nice to think we might do something that lasts a long time but the more nonstandard it is, the more likely it will be changed someday.

A similar effort on a fancy “outdoor kitchen/barbecue” in a more outdoorsy state than WA may have lasted a long time.
