Hobby Budget in a tough Economy !!

[annie@christophers]

Has heard and stepped up as much as possible... We now have a raffle for those that are interested and all they have to do is review the girl in a timely manner and NOT send in fake HANDLe to double up the chances... Anyway that will be our contribution to the recession...Annie

Yes, I fired the maid too. She is married and I was not attracted to her at all. I just thought it was an un-needed expense. I grew up poor and never had others wait on me, so I do not particularly enjoy it, unless hobby related of course. I can vacuum, do dishes, sweep and mop with the best of them, I did spend time in the military!

The pool cleaning is somtimes kinda relaxing, once I learned the proper chemical combination, it is not that hard to do. The polaris vacuums for me, all I do is skim and add chemicals. Once in a while I scrub the whole thing out, again though not that hard to do. To be honest though I have thought about rehiring a pool guy, the cost is around $250 per month plus chemicals, and I would have to give up an hour session of hobby time to fit in budget.

I have always been a hands on kinda guy. I do my own car maintenance, pool, fix house stuff myself. In fact I am in middle of a few home renovation projects at all times it seems.

All the money I save by doing all this stuff myself helps me hobby even more!! Now being a hands on kinda guy I gotta make a call to get my hands on sumthin and reward myself for all my hard work, lol.
