Buffalo Nickels
Speaking of architecture, we have begun the business of demolishing this old house and rebuilding on the lot in earnest. This is the beginning of a financial blood-letting which we have not experienced before - even after putting two children through college.
As a bit if background material, I have been described by a colleague at work in the following way:
"You are so tight you could squeeze a buffalo nickel and get fertilizer out of it".
Well, now we get to start writing the Big Checks. We have sent a retainer to the surveyor so that he can start surveying the lot for the project.
Let the fun begin.
