I agree w/ Bobby_M. The tax system is very favorable to property owners. In rentals, your mortgage interest is still deductible, your maintenance expenses now become deductible, you can depreciate things like a dishwasher or AC replacement… It by no means is a given that you’ll get rich, or...

I've done the buy it/live in it for a while/move out and rent it thing a couple of times in the past. Easy way to get rental property since the down payment is typically way less for owner-occupied property. Still have one rental property now. I've personally had good luck. I may have...

Simple and addictive. Sorry in advance. My best time's 28.11 seconds so far..... http://members.iinet.net.au/~pontipak/redsquare.html

Don't forget a beer fridge.... You don't want to be too far seperated from tasty brew while you make tasty brew. I brew in my garage (live near Houston) and don't have the garage AC'd, so summers are almost unbearable. Ice cold beer helps a lot. Hmm. Actually, maybe that's why mine...

Ok, I did misunderstand. Thought you were going all-corny for some reason. Was about to ask you for your Better Bottle! Haha! Easy fix, and lookie there... already a spot to put your cornies.... ;) Nah, may have to reconsider horizontal if you need to store all of that and still want...

Hmm. Sometimes pbase does that to me.... Here are some direct links to click if they don't show up. http://www.pbase.com/jas0420/image/92850654 http://www.pbase.com/jas0420/image/92850640 http://www.pbase.com/jas0420/image/92853827 http://www.pbase.com/jas0420/image/92853828...

Ok, I started liking the vertical idea a little better and threw a quick visualization of it together. Again, it'd (of course) have some doors on the front to hide the ugly foam. You could either just do this cabinet and buy some seperate shelving, or go ahead and make it one unit. Going this...

Ok, I'll go first... Although I really like Erik's suggesion of building a Fermoire for some reason........... ;) This is a pretty crude drawing, and I didn't finish wrapping the base in the pretty oak color so that you can peek inside. I was thinking just cabinet doors to cover up the...

Oh, wow... I missed the "10 days" part when I first read this and made my comment indicating that I wouldn't mind. A weekend or a long weekend, I wouldn't mind.... 10 days though, I don't think either my wife or I are even brave enough to ask the other that question! Those would be...

I've only been married about two and a half years, but I'll throw in my opinion also. If she's coming up on her 30th and you've only been married a year and a half, you've both probably spent a good chunk of your post-teen lives living financially independent. That’s the way it was with my...

This was my attempt at making a brew stand. I sacrificed my old SoloFlex to build the frame upon. Fun stuff! More info here: http://www.photosbyjasonsmith.com/brewing

This is my fermentation cabinet that I've built. More info here: http://www.photosbyjasonsmith.com/the_fermoire

Yeah, I guess I'll hold off my plans to try and publicly find a Natural Light clone now...... (Kidding!) Nah, no harm done. Honestly, and for no particular reason, I don't drink many Irish red ales... So I admit to not being fluent in that particular style, but I'll work on that.....

Oh. I was, um... asking for the recipe for.... for a 'friend'.... yeah.... Ok, I still liked it, but I'll rephrase..... "Anyone have a great recipe for an Irish Red? I tried some of that Smithwick's swill the other day, and I guess I've been craving an Irish red ale so much that...

Hmm.... Coors..... I wonder if you and I were drinking the same thing.......... ?? :)

Thanks guys! Freyguy, I just looked up the Abbey of Saint Sixtus at your recomendation and was amused by their brewery website (http://www.sintsixtus.be/eng/index2.html). To make a reservation, "you call the beer phone". We all need a beer phone. Good stuff though! Bummer about the...

If you didn't get a ticket from it and police were right there, I'd think that you probably have a good argument of it being no-fault.... Your two insurance companies will most likely put up a fight with one another, but I doubt you'll ever hear anything of it. I say this from past experiences...

lol! That's great...... He'll be hearing that story the rest of his life.

Hi all, It looks like SWMBO is going to get to do a 6-week teaching gig at a university in Belgium this summer. :rockin: She didn't want to take the job unless I would come visit. I thought long and hard about it for about a milisecond, and agreed to her demands (wouldn't want to stand in...

Had a Smithwick's tonight and had forgotten how much I like it... Anyone have a recipe that you feel is a good representation of Smithwick's? Found a few elsewhere, but the authors never circled back around to say how close it turned out. Thx!
