    When to sell? Questioning impact of new housing complex on same street

    Opening Account with Supply Stores for Contractor to Use - Good Idea?

    where to invest

    Cory, You said you get ahead by not listening to the naysayers and chicken littles' of the world. In other words, don't give into the fear mongering. I agreed and used a quote from Warren Buffet to back up your theory. What's confusing about that?

    My Basement Apartment Reno- Update

    Cool video. Just one thing....your main shutoff valve and water meter should be accessible. Maybe in the future wouldn't be bad to put a pair of hinges and a handle on a top or side panel of mdf? Other than that, nicely done.
