Stink Wrap,

Thanks for the shameless plug. Cost analysis is always a good idea.

Basically, I analyse the cost of the land and then add the cost of constructing the office building myself during my days off from the factory. If I have 6 months earnings left over in my savings account I'll go for it. I figure that if I accomplish nothing else, I have property that's been improved enough to doule my investment if anyone wants to buy it after I'm done there. At that price, I think I might even be selling my efforts short.

I have a couple of things in mind. Primarily, I'm giong to make and sell portable buildings. I'll get enough land to also house (in the future) a few other businesses that I can lease out. Secondarily, I want to retail small items (smaller than portable buildings anyway.) Hobby items are what I have in mind. Telescopes that I make, cb radios, auto stereos, rc items, Eagle II ARF and a 4 Stroke Engine (what a sloppy way to get on topic huh?)

I have found other real estate at lower prices than the $250k. Whatever land I get will have only one number ahead of the comma, per acre.

Truck stops down here need 5 1/2 acres minimum. One gave $40k per acre, then spent $2m getting all set up. Both of the recently opened truck stops have approched me about moving my cb shop onto their property. My shop is located just across the State line where State law allows me to operate without obtaining a TV technician license. The 2 truck stops who extendeed the invitation are both in my home State, which won't allow the same. Typical of my luck! #*^*@! Why not just get the license? Long frustrating story!

Oh well.

It rained here yesterday and turned cool. Today is sunny, cool enough to make condensation on the windows and to see your breath. No frost yet, but cool enough that I should bring in my Ivy plant and start making a small shelter for my Bonsai stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving,

See ya later dudes,
