Come January there is no hiding things, holiday spending will declare the standing of things, and while not impossible to do, I find it hard to see how they could spin a huge reduction in holiday spending as "economy is a-ok". 

You also have two major holidays coming in the US (Thanksgiving and Christmas and construction will slow down as people take time off).

We could probably push it to 70k income, but we take all of the good holidays for ourselves, and we have occupancy restrictions to lessen wear and tear on the property.

Happy Holidays and New Year!

Also, FYI, on most holidays Lowes does an .89 square foot install cost. 

I have more pictures of Christmas decorations  but of course some people book months ago for Christmas and Thanksgiving.Since Pogeon Forge is a huge holiday destination we get a couple Christmas pictures up year round.
