So about 2 weeks ago or so one of our fellow FTE'rs told a story of how he met a cool chick in a nice big lifted 350, and yet didn't get any other info for some of our single members. (not his fault, we've all been there) I'll leave you anoynmous, most of us have given you heck for it already and you know who you are. Well, for some reason I was watching this movie and this scene came on and reminded me of that story. If anything, it should make you laugh. I'm off to pound nails all day, catch you all later!

Yes, you men and your endless list of projects. Yes busy week, hopefully if all goes well we'll have a closing date set and I can slow down and relax for a bit - that is until I move two states away. lol
Yeah, fingers crossed here too. I've owned the house for a year officially now. I'm a bit nervous because I know the house isn't perfect. I outlined everything I knew in the seller's disclosure. The shingles over the front porch do need to be replaced (roof over the house is fine)..the porch has that rolled crap on it. Also when I had the house inspected last year, my inspector wasn't too fond of the electrical box I had, so hopefully no real finger pointing over that one. It's an old house, but in great shape for its age. I've been in houses newer than mine with unlevel floors and soft spots in the floors, with cracks going across all of the ceilings and major settling issues. My house, structurally, is holding up great.

From what you have said and from what Ive seen of your house you should be fine.

One good thing, though, is that I'll be able to deduct the money I spent on the house on repairs since I bought it. My percentage in taxes owed will stay the same but I may be able to jarr the total pot down a few thousand dollars and pay that 25% on a little less money. We'll see when we get to that point.

True, I know my accountant made sure we didn't have to pay it by filling out some form to say we re-invested it. I dont know enough about what he did though. It does appear to vary state to state as well. Hopefully it wont be an issue for her.

Well unfortunately for me, capital gains doesn't even play a role here. I am going to have to claim it as income...in my tax bracket that is about 25% (I think). Overall I am going to lose about $5,000 to taxes. I would have to pay that regardless if I put the money into another home or not...so the truck is getting paid off, along with a few other things.

even if they are the same size, the wheel offsets are different on most in the 90's, have to pop them off the wheels, remount, and rebalance.

sometimes it pays to think simple Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game
Here is mine for Down under: Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game
Do you know how many of my projects used to get interrupted by that? Now when I start a project, it gets finished, without interruption.

I let Randy do whatever he wants. When I said I don't want any kids right now, I meant it...Randy included. He makes 3x the amount of money I do and I have no place in telling him what to do with it...and as long as I get a little quality attention now and again, I really don't mind if he spends hours doing whatever.

Am I the only one not playing this dang game?

If more of the girls out there could have that an attitude like that... I need them to understand that I will spend time with them when I'm finished. And then it will be good quality time. If my project is interrupted, the time I spend with them will not be quality time because I'll be thinking about finishing my project instead.
