    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    It's the KISS theory. (Keep it simple, Stupid!) When things get too complicated, I run like hell. I don't have the time or the bandwidth to pay that much attention to a single problem -- especially when I'm outsourcing it. The whole reason for spending the time to find the right resource...

    Our progress: It’s been VERY cold here -- around 11 degrees in the mornings. We’ll have more snow this week. We're still working on the shed roof over one of the rentals. We got most of the bracing installed between the rafters, and the corbels in place on the roof framing. The skip sheeting...

    This is incredible! I had a stem cell treatment in my knees in September using my fat from my back. This is the same kind of stuff.

    Our progress: We got a few inches of snow. We look like a scene on a Christmas card. So, we had to plow for the first time this year. The ground is cold, making the snow stick. It’s definitely winter. We didn’t work on the new property. We worked on our rentals. We got most of the new roof on...

    You're right. And that's why I'm where I am, and they are back there in the dust. This life is for the very few because they, the crowd, don't want to do the work and get the education. It's a personal choice and a way of seeing the world. Interestingly enough, my habits have NOT changed over...

    I'd much rather that they pay off the debt rather than sending me a couple thousand dollars.

    Yes, I remember each of those years. Some were good and some were bad. Why do you think we're going into a recession? We just had a downturn during the Covid years. They are usually on about a ten-year cycle. The hair on my neck started to stand up around 2018 & 2019. I didn't know what was...

    Yes, the housing market is stalled. I've seen this before over the years. I have a flip finished, and I had it for sale. I withdrew it from the market for the winter. The interest rates are coming down. This stall has to do with de-inflation. Everyone is waiting to see how low they go before...

    Yes, Andy, living here in the Arctic is like living on another planet. I have a guy coming in today to talk to me about how to do his construction on his lot here in our community. He was planning on trying to winter in his RV. I explained to him about a week ago that it may not be possible IF...

    Last week, we had another windstorm off the Pacific Ocean, which knocked out our power again. That's our third major power outage in 3 weeks. At least this one only lasted about 6 hours rather than 12+ hours for the last two outages. We only lost a couple of our bigger trees this time from the...

    Fanatic? He's more like a great case study. In the RE business, he is one of the players to watch. I've been playing the RE game for just about 50 years. Two things can happen when you place your bet and put in your real money to play the RE game. You must be exceptionally good at it, or you go...

    I cook from scratch, so I avoid the nasty processed foods. But I hear you on the food front. My ex designed some of those "foods" in that industry. I saw how they do it, and I ran like hell. I'm NOT worried about a financial depression right now. Yes, my stock portfolio is down this week from...

    My New Project: Last week we got a lot of the exterior siding installed. One side of Section #1 is just about completed. It’s an 80’ long wall. We’re working on the back wall. We’re ready to put up the Tyvek there. This week we hope to get the siding on that section all finished. We stained a...

    Yes, I agree. He can do more where he is. One difference in my experience with moving to the big city is that I didn't party. I didn't have time or energy for any of that. I had a wonderful experience when I retired and moved to rural Alaska to care for my dying mom. I've done great here. I...

    I moved to downtown Los Angeles when I was 19 years old (over 50 years ago) to go to college. That move changed my life. I stayed in that area for 30 years. I built a whole life and career. Yes, you can do it without going anywhere. BUT, I believe I never would have broken the mold that I grew...
