Not to worry, Beeezzzeerr... I'm just finishing up one old building in Wichester and on budget... I've allready had my subs go down with me so I'm purdy sure I can stay of budget on this one...

Ahhhh, yeah, P-Gator, I know it's coming but unless George Bush sells off the national forests I think I'll be okay... I'm only looking houses with properties that back up to the park... Hey, I got time and believe it oe not, there are a few out there fir sale just liie that...

As fir THE BUS? Ohhhhh, this is going to be the hardesr part since it really isn't a bus anymore, but a full fledged cottage with its own side porch...

I did recieve a thoughtfull PM on the pitfalls of starting a resturant and, for the record, I'd never do that... Yeah, I'm going to try to find a scesful restuaranter and let them fight thru the red tape and come back to me with a proposal... I know about sewer and water hook-up reqirements and have allready gotten a verbal from the town manager that the town will do it for "cost"... No mark ups... That means less than $10K... And since I'm going to rewire the entire building after demoing the plaster and lathe we won't have any trouble bringing 3-phase right where it will be needed...

Now, if there are any Catters out there who are tired of the rat-race and would like to consider leasing a commercial space and/or renting an apartment, PM me with what you have in mind... I think it would be cool to have a guitar/music shop and if ya wanted to live there, you wouldn't have to leave the building to walk down stairs to work...
