ParticipantDark granite in kitchens is hard to keep looking pretty without having to polish it regularly, stainless is a pain too – it scrathes easily and shows finger prints, plus you have to use a special cleaner to keep it shiny looking. I currently have a blackish brown granite and it’s a lot of work. In my last place I had a lighter granite, it looked more like marble and that was much easier to keep looking nice. I personally love the look of wood floors and tall molding, it’s also amazing what great paint colors can do for a room that has more average looking bathrooms, kitchens, etc. Also for stripper poles, make sure that you get the kind that doesn’t need a lot of polishing – it gets too slippery when you are trying to hang upside down, the one in my master bedroom is brass π (joking…maybe)

Participant7. Civil engineering firms aren’t able to win contracts due to decrease in local and state government funds, thus causing engineering companies to cut jobs.

ParticipantHey Marion,
Are you open to living in other states as well? Or are you set on staying in CA? I know the State of CA’s budget isn’t so good, and I believe they are cutting even more education based funding. The duplex thing might not be so bad in other areas of the country. Not all duplexes are small, nasty, and in yucky parts of town. I’ve seen some really nice ones in the Chicago burbs, Austin area, Raleigh/Durham area…I’m sure there’s a lot more.
I’m just a run of the mill MA level therapist, so I’m not totaly familiar with what a school psychologist does in terms of your own business. Perhaps some of the more knowledgable people on this site can talk about the tax benefits one gets for using their residence for business purposes. A friend of mine who’s a licensed psychologist sees clients in her own home and has major tax breaks for doing so. I personally would never see clients in my home, but it has worked well for her.
I have some friends back in Seattle who own a franchise that does very well on paper, but they hate it! It’s so much more work than they ever imagined, and in the end, the husband only takes home about 30,000 a year. Good thing his wife works for Microsoft.
Good luck!
