Our other house started out as 24 x 24 garage in 1994. Then I just kept building and so after 26 years turned a 576 sq ft home into a 3000 sq ft home all without a mortgage. People laughed at me at first, such a Tiny Home, but as they paid 30 year mortgages, then refinanced them with second mortgages to pay credit card debt and whatnot, I just stayed the course.

I will admit having a sawmill and gravel pit helped, but it shows what hard work and clean living (no smoking, drinking or using drugs) will do in the long run. Not a lot of people can say they retired at age 42, or own (3) houses.

It has been tough these last two years with cancer and then reoccurring cancer, but I cannot imagine doing I with a boat load of debt.

One more hour of studying, then I am off to take the Ham radio license exam in Plattsburgh.

For all of you that are anxiously waiting to hear how I did - I passed. Should get my callsign next week.

I have a few thoughts on your vanity call sign, would you like some ideas.

Congratulations Rob!

Now you need to get to work on that antenna mast.

Someone told me that you no longer needed to know morse code, is that correct?

Yes Sam, that is correct.
