Ahh the joys of a double-move! We did the same thing about 4 years back. Problem was that our land-lord needed to move his son into our rental so he gave us the boot! We were rushed into buying the place we did and are now regretting that. There's another move on my horizon :(
Good luck man!

Those are Rod Doors custome door panels for the 73-87 chevy trucks. Rod Doors closed up shop a couple of years ago, but I think someone was going to continue the door panels but not sure if that happened.

Thanks man, they will be modified but it is a great base to start from !

Sorry about the progress delays hopefully by the end of this week we will be completely moved and progress will be back underway on Square Peg !

There is no such thing as completely moved, you'll be painting rooms and hanging pictures for the next year!

never been able to afford a home or wanted the hassles of possible forced selling paying tax and all that stuff
im living in rentalplaces all my life , there some good things about it though , the person renting the place needs to take care of the house on the outside fix leaks all that sort of stuff ..... at least they need to here in the netherlands
downside is that youre usually pay more in rent a month then you would doing a downpayment on a morgage aspecially in the non social housing sector

Me Too !!!!!

God's Country.

Sometimes I gripe when I see a house with a yard full of too much cr*p (which is any yard that has even more cr*p than my yard does), but when I read the hassles that some of you guys go thru with the local zoning-compliance people, it makes me really appreciate getting to live in "the land of the free....."

I saw a bald eagle soaring overhead today. Not many folks EVER get to see that.
