still rockin the CAT tag I see. Tell mom and Dad that you need an Powerstroke tag for Christmas
good luck Jacob!
good morning all!
just catching up since yesterday afternoon...
welcome to our new 16yr old & sorry to hear about some of our youngsters pains.... try glucosamine, about 1500mg/day - it's good for big dogs too, to help with joint problems - don't know how you buys are beating yourselves up so bad, but enough already!! LOL
I never liked GPS units much - theyr'e handy, sure, but when the batteries die.... well, it's old-school (but so am I!) but a compass & topo just plain work - they are fun to play with though, and can be great for calibrating speedometers if it has a speed feature!
I better get off to work & make some moolah - check back in in about an hour
Happy Thursday!

Seriously!! LOL I'm 38 and don't have these creaks & pains... and trust me, I don't sit home safe on the porch either...
Not yet. They might need someone with Unix experience also, and that I don't have.... it's not a definite no, and they apparently did really like me, so we'll see - thanks for asking!

I swear by Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM. Been taking them for well over a year now and I can tell when I stop. I stopped a while back just to see if they were doing anything, and sure enough, my knees & elbows start hurting, ankles a little too....
Happy Thursday to you too! And everyone else as well....

Look for a local FLB (federal land bank). They specialize in agriculture type stuff and mortgages out in the country. Sit down with them and talk about the possibility of buy land and building on it. They should be able to put together a loan for you where you can do this. It will then be converted to a traditional mortgage when construction is complete, and then likely sold off to a standard mortgage company.
36 is still young. Wait till you have kids that hit their 20's (or older). Some of us don't consider your parents old.

I say buy you a fixer-upper (whatever style you want)with a lot of land, get that draft test done, take a weekend and insulate it right and enjoy yourself til you get to the point where you MIGHT want to build your dream house with the proceeds from the fixer-upper...just my .02
And yes, its is definitely easier to complete one RE transaction for the land AND the house than it is to buy the land, find a contractor, blah blah blah...

I'm almost 175 posts behind and do not even know if I can get caught up so I am going to stick my nose in right here. Pick out a house you think you might want to buy. Wait for about a foot of snow, then 10 or so days below freezing then take your camera out and take icicle pictures. Thats the poor mans winter time draft test. You do not want a house that has even a 6 inch icicle hanging off of it. The draft test will get your walls and doors and windows for you. But a long icicle costs lots of money to create.
Very interesting, i didnt know that you could tell anything from a house from the icycles hanging off, very neat information Mark!
