[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 51156, member: 816"] mine married me. pretty much the dumbest idea EVA! [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] seriously though... those darn home improvement shows are gonna be the death of many marriages and the depletion of many savings accounts. very few of them realize that just because they were able to remodel the entire damn house in one hour long episode that it might actually take more than an hour to accomplish it. my wife is constantly asking when i am gonna do "the addition". i keep answering "when i have 3 months off and 75K in the bank". then reality sets in and she forgets about it for about 2 days. then asks the same thing again. funny.... cause she is like an elephant when it comes to shit i've done wrong or that she perceives i did wrong... usually the latter. but, when it comes to stupid stuff she has done or asks, her mind becomes a sieve or epic proportions and it just runs thru her like water. got an office partner (hope she doesn't read this). we each pay about $425/month the entire amount of which is deductible. that includes all utilities. for some reason, she thinks it would be cost effective to purchase a $200,000 building, pour about 50-75K into "remodeling" it... knock this wall down, partition off this section, dig a big f7cking hole over there, blah, blah, blah... rent a space out to jane doe to help pay the mortgage, etc... i explain to her that if you add up taxes, utilities, insurance and interest on a $250,000 building you are probably at $650/month before you can blink. it would take roughly 75 years to recoup that $250,000 considering we would save about 200/month or 100/month each. she says "you're right". then a week later wants to go look at another property. after conversing with women, i often times find myself saying, "you can't make this shit up".
