The wife and I have been very diligent over the past 10 years paying the house off, we're down to about 4.5 years left. After appraisal we had something like 210K in equity because the value has gone up 85K since we bought it. I took out a 25K HELOC with 15K advance. I paid the first 30K of the build in cash. Been saving for quite a while. I hope to get out of it around 60K, fully finished with the lift. If I go a little over, no biggie. I just ordered the shingles, siding, and remaining sheeting from the place I used when I redid the house. Into it for 35K-ish so far. I have quotes for the doors ($$ because they're 10x10) and electric, after that all I have left to buy is sheetrock, insulation, and the lift... and get it all installed. Fun...

I know what you mean about musical cars. I'm down to 8 vehicles at the moment. And it's a pain when you want to get the last in line out (which is my motorhome) We took it out last weekend and I had to move all of the others out to the street. My wife said it looked like we were having a party.
Then I had to put them all back.  It took me about an hour, but that includes having a beer and shooting the breeze with my neighbor. |
I have the C10, 65 Mustang, 68 Firebird, 15 Z71, and my wifes 11 Mustang and a 1954 ford Golden Jubilee.
The plan is for the two mustangs to take refuge in the 22x24 attached garage, with all the crap out of there they should both easily fit. The Bird, C10 tractor and silverado will all fit in the new garage with room to blow one of them completely apart. The bird will be first up.
