Its easy enough to cut a hole to get access to the attic.

Hmmm.....my boss is a self-absorbed, arrogant, womanizing, a-hole who drinks too much.

Slow down or two years from now you'll be writing about how you've had TWO BKs, in the last 4 years.This one sounds like you've dug yourself a bit of a hole, but I like the idea of adding the 1/2 bath.

Between the $5K down payment and the $6K needed to pay down the car loan, you're 2K in the hole.

Furthermore, our entire monetary system is based on NOTHING other than the government's ability to tax us into the ground (fiat money).

Unfortunately, if you have to shoot someone, the criminal will not only have holes in him, he'll be covered with lipstick, loose change, fingernail files, and whatever else women carry in their purses these days!!!

They will say "as is", and if its obvious the furnace has been ripped out or there is a big hole in the back wall (seen both), they aren't going to give you any adjustment.

You have to fill in the loop holes and protect your investment.

The tenant turned out to be a deadbeat whose stuff needed evicted from our garage which pointed out some significant holes in our lease for garage use.The $5/day late fee that works with apartments got thrown out the door by the judge since the garage lease was only $50/month and late fees alone would amount to $150 if late a month.

Need a new roof and doors, but that isn't really a big deal..Hell, I think I could have the garage looking really top notch for about $3500..This garage looks like a hell hole right now.
