I'm delighted to have some friends and connections involved with city planning in a couple areas, and any time I get wind of plans for the future I'm compelled to start thinking of REI in that area.

Well, I'm delighted to report that I have indeed opened my very own care house and it has been steadily being filled (more on that later).

They also added a 3.5 car coach house with an upper 22x36 man cave.

Will you press forward no matter what or do you feel like you might cave under the pressure? 

The Japanese have had a stagnant economy for 20 years, their population is aging (much more so than most countries) and their access to resources is limited yet with a debt to GDP is almost double that of the U.S. so why haven't they caved?

Lived there a year as a roommate, only heard/saw this tenant maybe 5 times in a whole year.Tenant/roommate was absolutely delightful and friendly as could be when I saw them, pleasant conversation, interesting, great personality.Quiet as a mouse.

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek".

We went in with an all cash offer of $35,200 and, to our delight, the offer was accepted. 

I stopped at home depot, and they certainly seemed sturdy enough not to cave in at the small grout line points where the tiles meet.

I'm thrilled to be joining your ranks and excited to receive your comments and suggestions via this delightful forum.
