Fair mate . Perhaps that ' s why I ' m the author of a shitty blog and not working for the Guardian , but I can live with that I reckon . <| sep |> I would have maced the guy . He sounds creepy . <| sep |> Names out of a hat ! <| sep |> More like a nightmare . <| sep |> You know you can ' t be lazy . <| sep |> You could skip some of the rooms and save for a later time , skip on quality flooring make cutbacks etc . . Honestly , you were talking about fixtures in a previous comment so it makes me think you ' re further along . Rough usually means no drywall and plumbingelectric is in place . How could 148 k be spent on a structure w no drywall unless it ' s insanely large or poorly managed ? <| sep |> I ' ve raised 3 . By far the most people friendly dogs I ' ve ever been around . But . I raised em from pups .
