POOF - Instantly my house is worth 50% more

So - here's exactly what I've done to my house in the past few years... And, based on my unexpected hike in my tax assessment... here's what I figure my work is worth...

Painted the floor on half of the basement – $7,500.00
Painted the laundry room – $10,000
Repainted the basement rec room – $12,500
Created a new flower bed in the back yard – $15,000
Refinished the hardwood floors on the main floor – $20,000
Generally provided my aura to the house – $3,800
Total: $68,800

So- would anyone in their right mind pay this much for these home improvements? Apparently our Wauwatosa tax assessors would.

If I would've known this... I think I'd have stayed on the couch!
