Renovations are well underway on both The Mini House and The Sunglasses House, and I’m happy to report that a week in, both projects are still on-schedule and on-budget.

Rehab Analysis Spreadsheet

May 5, 2009

After putting my Business Plans up-for-sale yesterday, I decided to get back to my general ideal of giving away information on this site as opposed to selling it (though don’t get me wrong, the business plans are still for sale, are tremendously inexpensive and are tremendously useful … Today, I want to give something away…here [...]
