The Penniless Homeowner...

[Tom McQuinn]

I'm half laughing at this today.  I hope a little humor can be tolerated here.

I have a rehab project that is going, but going slowly.  The gods laugh at any plans I make.

I have two sons in college who were told they would have free car maintenance until they graduate.  Guess who does it for free?  I've been chasing a problem for my younger son that requires me to log a lot of computer data.  So we swapped cars.  We actually put an obscene amount of money into his car building the engine but you wouldn't think so to look at the paint.  I look like a very poor old man driving a beater.

This is a special project, I'm emotionally invested in it.  I'm doing a lot of it DIY.  The next one will be different but I am spending a lot of time here.  The curtains are down because there has been a ton of dust.  It's obvious that it's vacant.  My son's car is in the driveway.  So the driving for dollars crowd (not a put down, I do it) keeps interrupting my work thinking some they're seeing a project where the owner has run out of money and is ready to cut his losses!!!!  May lightning strike me if I don't have nice Porsche in the garage!
