Haha, I welcome IAB, or IRS or anyone else. I built this house using my life savings and blood, sweat and tears. It cost me $269,000.00 to build and is appraised at $464,000.00. I also built the house I lived in before this one and it is paid for (I paid $80,000.00 for it over 15 years). That house brings in $1000.00 per month in rent, which pays most of the note on this one. I also rent my garage apt to one of my son's friends for $300.00 a month, so I basically pay $200.00 per month to live here, plus taxes and insurance, etc.
Leveraging a redneck upbringing (carpentering and such as a young man) is a good thing. I also majored in Mechanical Design in high school, so my wife and I designed the house and drew the plans. I also have been a consultant for the past 20 years and I've done alright. I feel very blessed. This is a fairly large house, but it seems my kids are always cycling through it. My oldest daughter's husband is being deployed to Iraq next week and she will be moving back her with their three kids. It's a good thing I've got room! My wife can't wait for the grandkids.... Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I started working with the Memphis Police Department today as a technical consultant. Back in the saddle again. . . . Life is good!

My house is about 6,000 square feet Hi John! If you were a cop in Sarasota and had a 6000 square foot house internal affairs would be looking at you very closely. Florida in general, and Sarasota in particular, likes poor cops. Actually, Sarasota likes poor employees in all professions. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@shelbynet.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
