For any / all interested here's an update.
My daughter and her guy have been over doing some work on the place, and a
couple days ago they offered money to help with the bathroom.
I thanked them for their generosity and told them to keep it, they are
going to need it.

There were a few people interested in my DE or in the 14" barrel but
apparently I value these things too highly.

No one is interested in my Sprite. I cut the price on my ad by $1500 and
still no calls.
That's fine, I like my things and I'll keep them.
We applied for and received credit at Home Despot and Lowes, so we will
just get everything we need that way.

My wife has her first published book coming out next month, so when the big
checks start coming in we'll just pay off the debts...
(I know, counting the eggs before we even have chickens here)

If anyone is interested in buying the book in either Ebook or paperback
here's the publishers web site:

(it's 'coming soon' so I'll update the list when it's actually available)
