Default Advice - Building Your Retirement Home

For those considering contracting and especially finishing your
eventual retirement house; two pieces of advice:

1) Get it done before the Itus brothers show up on your doorstep...Art
Itus, Burts Itus, Tendun Itus.

2) Consider. You WILL spend the remainder of your days lookin' at all
of you little screwups.

Too late. Have had Art's rheumate for years. Doing nothing doesn't
help.

2) Consider. You WILL spend the remainder of your days lookin' at all

But they are *your* screw ups. Unlike other's screwups, there is time
to make your big ones into little ones.

Spent six months after I retired fixing up the house to sell, sold it,
and went back to work. Retirement was too much work. ;-)

There is also equal opportunity and time to make small ones into big
ones.
