    Sounds like us (52 years this year). The key thing you said was "We live below our means." which most people don't do today. When I hear about high "median home" prices research and you see this...but in my 20s I'd be looking at something like the old house like the second picture with a few...

    Thankfully I received what I ordered. What's so sad has been said here so many times: they made really good attachments. I've been using my 7ft rear blade last few days and it's fantastic. I had a long wait but like others assumed they were just that busy. I wouldn't have done a chargeback since...

    I'm thinking you (and I) would be foaming at the mouth if we paid a few $thousand months ago...past the time we could reverse credit card charges with only the hope of recovering a fraction of the money.

    I recently went with standing seam. Twice ribbed/screw metal price. I had it insulated also and heavy rain last night barely could hear it. I'm sure heating bill was less also.

    Similar experience I worked at a local K-Mart when I was 18 at Christmas. The manager had me go to each register with a shopping cart putting money in cardboard boxes to deposit at the bank in my car. I'm sure the manager thought what thief could imagine robbing a kid in jeans and t shirt...

    Hakko make good equipment. Those wanting to save money try Blow Off spray or a compressor blow gun. It takes practice but heat connection with spray nozzle close.
