The house is not much to write home about, but the 24x24 two story barn /garage/workshop is what sold me on the place.

He's licensed to work on choppers. He won't ride in them. That tells me all I need to know.

What I lack is a garage. That makes everything a bit harder. Okay, quite a bit sometimes.

Having several of them helps as when one is down you have an alternative. I just saved well over a thousand dollars in repairs on my wife's 02 Jetta with 170K miles. Book value is around 600$ at best. Not worth paying someone to do that work. A lot of cheap second hand vehicles are available if one can do a little bit of wrenching. Brake lines, suspension and other peripherals are not difficult repairs to do if one has a little patience and is not pressured to have it done by the morning. Being able to take a couple weeks to fiddle on them and do the research on how to do the repair can save a ton of money. No one ever taught me how to do this, I simply had no choice but to learn to repair them if I wanted better transportation than walking on my two feet.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-24338843915262988982018-12-14T09:01:23.217-05:002018-12-14T09:01:23.217-05:00May you heal quickly, stay healthy and have many m...May you heal quickly, stay healthy and have many more great adventures. - MomladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-65542963820591256132018-12-14T07:26:39.339-05:002018-12-14T07:26:39.339-05:00If it's only a rare occasion, pickups can be r...If it's only a rare occasion, pickups can be rented for a fraction of the cost to own.
