Stanley, the vast majority of millionaires in the U.S……-Live in a house that costs less than $400k-Are more likely to wear a Timex than a Rolex-Generally pay $15 or less for a bottle of wine-Have never paid more than $400 for a suit-Are more likely to drive a Nissan than a BMW-Spend very little on prestige brands and luxury items.Yes, they’re frugal, but they’re also happy, not to mention financially free.

We have some very interesting discussions, usually with a bottle of wine or an umbrella drink, and try to keep politics out of it to avoid fights.

If you don't know how to do the work, you're not paying for the workman's comp, insurance, unemployment etc, then your $15/hour guy is probably going to be finishing off a bottle of vodka on his way to your job and I hope you don't want paint free trim or straight rows of shingles cause you aint going to get it.

It is SORELY needed here in Southern Cal, I have endured the rounds of wannabe gurus, pitch fests and self important realtors that love the sounds of their own voices (there was one RE organizer who pitched a mlm scheme on a bottled soda) sheesh!

Arnie, On another note...I once pulled up to collect the rent and noticed the "recycling trash can" FILLED to overflowing with wine bottles.

You should always use steel plates above the jack, anything else will just crumble..The last one I lifted, we bolted 4x6's all around the house then used a series of bottle jacks under them separated by steel plates.

Unless you are planning on withdrawing from society, your info is out there and you can't put the genii back in the bottle.

I learned about greenhouse construction using recycled 2 liter bottles that way!
