Hey Accel, Here's a quick synopsis of my build. We bought a 4 acre lot first. The guy who sold us the lot mentioned we could just put 25% and finance the rest. When we build the home, just roll the land note into the mortage. We did work with local, private owned bank. Took about 3 years...

Hey Marty, Ruby looks like a sweety. Not a typical look for a chessy. Here's my chessy, Hiccup. He was enjoying the recently tossed pinestraw.

This is what can happen if you drop a platter and try to catch it before it hits the sink. This is 12 days after the injury. The soon to be Ex was over here and decided the platter in the microwave needed to be cleaned. She didn't think it was funny when I asked her for the $40 to replace it...
