Well I guess I'll share my big news here first.  I have made the biggest purchase in my life.  I just bought a house.   No more renting for me.  Its a fairly good sized duplex ( yss I bought the whole damn building.. both sides) Good part is that there is  a tennant in the one side who's been there for 18 years and is staying ( tales care of  most of the monthy payment there) and I will have the bottom half all to me.  The best part is  I"ll finally have a joe room, so I should be able to display  most  ( hopefully) all of my collection.

damn....I'm still trying to get used to the fact that  I'll own a house come october.  

here's to poverty !

Aaahhh home ownership.  The next big hobby.

Like all things in life it has its ups and downs.  Wouldn't have it any other way due to the freedom it offers.

congratulations!  bought my first 6 years ago, and moved into my current just last july.  sure, there's alot of costs at first because you're never happy with everything when you first move in, but sniper's right, there's something comforting about the freedom that comes with it being "yours".

do the joe room while you can....my blueprints were co-opted and redesigned into a playroom for the kids....(sigh)

That's awesome news, congrats. I'm still a few years away from owning, but the planning has already begun.

Yep.  I bought a house on the other side of town from where I am now.

I'll get some pics together once I take over it.

That is totally awesome news. Good for you. I personally don't mind working on my house (as you've seen) so besides the money you save/make, owing a house is also a hobby of sorts. Kind of like model building, except a lot bigger. It's cool to redo a room and when it's done you can say "Look what I made".

Congratulations!

Have fun with the Joe room...check out Ikea for some awsome display ideas or ask Raptor and BHM.

Add me to that list of people now using those Ikea display cabinets. Expensive but look very nice. Mind you, you should buy at least 2 of them. One for Cobra and one for Joe.

And what, they just stare at each other across the room? Mingle! Fight! See how many Back-Stops you can stuff on one shelf!

Yeah, they're expensive, and they're a bit of a hassle to mount, but wow do I love the way they look. Think about it, Deadshot. Think about that big one year sale Ikea has.
