Dan, I can really empathize with you (empathize means "to suffer with".) LOL It's amazing how I have to not only work so hard to make the money, but to then have to work even harder after that hard earned money has been spent (at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc) doing major home projects including adding two rooms to the house - doing everything myself (framing, electrical, HVAC, drywalling, etc) but the carpeting, installing lawn sprinkler system and lawn, adding a patio, painting the house (inside and out), putting on a new roof on part of the house, major landscaping, etc ad nauseum (which means "to the point of disgust or getting sick)". Get this, we bought the house new and have only been in it for 11 years. I am unfortunate to have grown up in a family of contractors and to own the code books, and worse yet - to live 3,000 miles from my contractor brothers and cousins. So it has all been a team of one!! Now you know why I feel justified in spending as much as I have in this great hobby of ours. I feel I've more than earned it. LOL It's a wonder I have any time for the hobby. So I can really appreciate what you are saying. I go to work to get a vacation. Pardon my venting here, in an unusual sort of way! Thanks for listening. <br /> <br />Greg <br /> <br />PS - A word of advice to those who are about to get married - after the honeymoon, play dumb, ignorant, and incompetent with regards to anything mechanical or involving tools. Be all thumbs / have two let hands, claim a history of medical conditions in your family,etc. Otherwise, be prepared to learn to hate the likes of Home Depot.
