Participant[quote=briansd1]I’ve not been to Greece yet. But I know a Greek-American guy who moved there, got married, and lives there part of the year.[/quote]
Living there (Italy is our second choice) part of the year is the goal, in 10 years or so. Both are surprisingly affordable – US$150-250k will get you a nice ocean view condo on any number of Greek islands. If I was sitting on my Greek balcony with my feet up, drink in hand, staring at the Med, I could die happy.

February 8, 2011 at 2:47 PM in reply to: Ceiling leaks directly below toilet: what strategy to use to fix this #663794ParticipantWith working full time, running a business on the side, and looking after two very small kids, I have virtually no life as it is, so a new home project interrupts valuable relaxation time. My gardener (also a sprinkler installer) recently pointed out a leaky valve, and said I should fix it myself, because “the part’s cheap and it’s easy.” He gave me instructions and told me what to ask for at Home Depot. I paid him to do it for me.
I’ll replace a doorknob, reverse the door on the fridge/dryer, put on a new shower head. Beyond that, my time is more valuable (to me) than any contractor, even if I spend it on the couch.
That said, I do feel that a real man should know how to fix toilet innards, so you have to do that job at least once.
