@Ashley Pitre@Roy Oliphant is right on target - from reading his posts over the months, he clearly gives sage advice and has been doing this quite a while.I wish you success.

Thanks you both for your sage advice.

This and the girder beam will require the building of temporary walls.Due to foundation movement and water/termite damage there is some sage in both the first and 2nd floors of the house that we will jack up in place before we set the house back down on the new foundation and piersThe basement is half dug-out,half crawl space, so we will build a block retaining wall across to prevent any further wash-out from the crawl space.The brick front porch is falling away from the house, since it's tied into the foundation it is pulling the house with it.

Hi Sage,Good for you for thinking of investing already! 

@John Barrett - Sage advise, John.

It literally has become more therapeutic than anything else. 

Keep it simple is a good strategy and offering the sage advice of “Live way below your means”, and make a ton of money is good advice for anyone regardless of age towards early retirement.My only other input, besides if it is possible.

@Anya Sagee you don't need to respond.  

Sage advice. 

I suppose that  is my sage advise to end poverty - work hard ..even if your dumb or crazy .
