What is a good ROI?

I know this will probably vary quite a bit, but I wonder what most people think is a worth while ROI (return on investment or the time it takes for something to pay for itself) for a home improvement? I'm talking anything here from lightbulbs to entire remodeling projects.

IMO, pretty much anything under 5 years is definitly worth doing. If it is a very green improvement I'd be willing to go even longer. As you can see if you read the ER Blog there are at least a few things that have drastically low ROIs (more to come BTW).

So, what is a good ROI to you?
