Jim,

The advantages of a house over a Westy:

Goes up $275K in value in 3 months...

Sell the house and buy a lot of Westies.  Ah crap, BenT has already done
that with Dokas.

Cheers,

Jeff

The advantages of a westy over a house

On the westy
You can carry just liability  - try that on a house

Property taxes don�t go up because of somebodies idea of a good project for
taxing

No covenant saying I can only paint or refurb with board permission
according to rules by the few

My vanagons insurance doesn�t double because my value went up 50 percent.

Don�t have to keep the grass cut (or alive)

No weeds to control

Don�t like the sun hitting that side (turn it around)

I don�t like the neighborhood..move on

The neighborhood don�t like me...move on

No door to door saleman...

No trash ads stuck to my door

Get to watch wild life rather than tolerating it.

Change neighbors occasionally.

No dogs in the trash (just coyotes, bears, raccoons, possums, etc)


Just to list a couple

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
