I'm looking through the spreadsheet and I think it's worth mentioning that it's possible to spend a lot less for certain material items as well as labor in many cases depending on how frugal you want to beinterior door with hardware: $5-10 used, $30-50 newwindow: $10-50 used, $100-200 newlight fixtures: $1-10 used, 6 pack flushmount at lowes for $44fan fixture: $24-60 new water heater: $250 newtoilet: $50-90 newsink: $40-200 new faucet: $10-30 newtile: 0.49-2/sqft newappliance: $20-200 each appliance usedmy last rehab was:60 elec permit cost + 300 elec repair (tenant destroyed meter box causing house to be condemned)1600 material + 1500 labor flooring for 1400 sqft500 material + 600 labor spray paint whole house semigloss and patch some large holes$30 for 4 interior doors which I put in$10 mirror for bathroom$100 paint porch, stairs, and stair rail brown$50 fridge, $10 burner plates for stoveI also spent at least a few hundred with help on cleaning and taking out the trash and some other expenses here and there which altogether added up to about 5 thousand.I spent maybe 30 hours over there in total on the weekends.

And were so Tapped financially  we had no choice but to put it on a back burner, move into my inlaws basement, and loose our stability, security, and stash.

The downside of doing the rehabs myself is that I get so caught up in working on the homes, that some of the larger business practices get put on the back burner.

Rumors of a casino have been going around for about 20 years...Don't want to step on anyone's dreams but, I will believe it when I see it...Several Groups have had public forums to discuss the possibility of building a Casino, at everyone of these meetings Everyone seemed to be in agreement that it would be a good idea to boost the local economy and provide much needed jobs to the area,  but then the county steps in and the whole project gets put on the back burner and we wait until the next round... 

We helped friends/clients purchase a business that changed their lives and we started doing a podcast talking about aspects of business that are missed, mostly the small items so new entrepreneurs get exposed to those parts, but we have been so busy with our own businesses that we had to put it on the back burner for now, after about 8 months.

Burner is rusted and not working.

*Getting married in September so any savings I have is on the back burner for that and we'll probably be starting from scratch.

Is not dead but on the back burner.
