Therapy is supposed to be cathartic, right? Here's my cheap version of therapy...I've decided to use Thursdays to post about a gripe that I want to get off my chest. You can post your gripes in the comments, too. This week: the price of our dream home.
We were cruising along ready to build at the end of the year, and then the economy struck. Our little nest egg of stocks that were going to cover some of the building cost is now of course worth less than we paid for it. (Thank you Barney Frank.) Well if that wasn't enough, the bid finally came in this week and BAM, not as low as we were hoping. Not even close.
So where does that leave us? Back to the drawing board. Meaning we will be using our own sweat way more than hiring someone to do stuff. Like painting. And framing. And roofing. And exterior siding. UHHGGG!
But I can't complain too much. Others around the country are losing their homes. We are safe in our home and about to build our dream home. There. The therapy worked. I feel better already.
So do you have something you want to get off your chest?
