re: #420 The Sanity Inspector
And sidebar: That’s also something to factor in, how much is that fixer-upper going to cost, as compared to something new. I had a co-worker who drove a piece’a junk that was constantly having to go into the shop. “But I can’t afford a good car!” Oh, but you can afford to break down every three months…?
That is true, but sometimes it’s easier to do it piecemeal. The price difference in new v. old homes was at least $100K. Meanwhile we did the roof one year, the windows in another couple years, and so on.
