Yes buying a home is a big deal. Doing remodels I see that many people bond with any range of house & property. It is easy to understand the high end owners loving their houses and being really particular. I see people bond to really deep levels with houses that on a purely structural basis are shacks. Having the homebody personality myself I think I would do the same thing. Of course neighborhood character affects us profoundly too in very personal ways.
As far as you me and SDR goes,clearly we have different strengths with some crossover of course. I have definately gleened some good stuff from your posts as well as Adam’s.
In fact if I go beyond my “dabbler” status one day you and he(and many other posters on this blog) will get much credit for any success I might have.Either way I am going to be better at what I do because of all of you. Sorry we got off to such a rough start.
Best wishes,
