I wrapped up my first week of the new job! It was so intense, so overwhelming , so confusing and challenging . Like total sensory overload. But I really enjoyed it. The people are fantastic. Random acts of kindness that blew my mind and so welcoming and friendly.

I changed jobs, but I’m still at the same university I’ve been at for 12 years now. I changed from construction tech to electrical tech last May . Friday was just one of those days. I was the only tech that showed up for work and it was a crazy day ( as usual ) .
Bro I’ve been checking in to try and stay up with the RIU family but I haven’t had a lot of time to communicate with anyone. I did want to say how happy I am that you are able to keep on grinding away at your house. It’s a real struggle and it’s very taxing on you physically and mentally and emotionally, I know I’ve been through something similar. But it still breaks my heart to see anyone else having to go through it.
Peace and love Bareback

Right on dude! Out of all my years in my trade i’ve worked a solid 3 of them working building UC Santa Cruz. They are constantly buliding out there.
I’m getting to the point where i keep getting pissed i’m not where i think i should be bro. It’s all me and its taking forever! I don’t know if i’ll ever try to build a house again like this.

The worst past is when you sell it, and you walk away with a piece of paper in the form of a bank check...It's like WTF, I have years of my life and blood sweat and tears in this beautiful home and I just traded it for paper.
Bums me out every time!!So live in it for a while and at least get the benefit of that...Plus if it's your personal residence for 2 years, NO capitol gains tax!!

I’ve read a few things online that sort of point to my 2 out of 5 yrs being met already. This has been my primary residence since December 2018 even though the construction still isn’t completed. To be sure i should prob hit up a tax person but i need to live in a house anyways. I’ll want to enjoy for a while then i’ll see about selling which this next actual fire season will have allot to do with the decision.The worst past is when you sell it, and you walk away with a piece of paper in the form of a bank check...It's like WTF, I have years of my life and blood sweat and tears in this beautiful home and I just traded it for paper.

It sucks. Not that it’s a lot but i owe capital gains on my property i sold. The fire was on Nov 8 2018 and the property closed in December 2021. Just missed the 2 out of 5 yrs but I have a solar tax credit to use up so all good

Pretty sure it's only 2 years you have to occupy to completely avoid capitol gains...That was my gig for a long time...Move every 2 years into the next one, and pay zero taxes on the profit.I’ve read a few things online that sort of point to my 2 out of 5 yrs being met already.

Yes sir! But also has to be 2 out of the last 5 yrs.
We have an accountant - I freakin hate paperwork on that level!I got a start on my income tax prep....The kitchen table is covered with sorted piles of receipts... Hopefully I can make some real progress tomorrow.
Seems like I said that yesterday too

I do to
Me too, but I still have to get everything prepped for him...Sorting all the receipts, tallying everything up. It is a HUGE PITA...although getting easier every year, as I sell everything off

Took my wife to the oncologist today for a follow-up and the news was good- no chemo, possibly some limited radiation therapy but that's for someone else to decide and bill insurance for

Took an old vacuum cleaner apart, my mom bought when I was still in primary school.
It stopped working on account of one of the wires breaking off just after the cable gland. But found like a plug of hair in the main port inside.
It is working like new again, great for the workshop... got used to the new vacuum cleaner that puts the dust through water first, but hey if it's free it is for me, I'll take three.
