I get a budget Rusty. What I don’t get is a 1985 budget in 2021 dollars. It is a hobby for sure. But you wouldn’t buy a house to fix up and base your plans on a 1985 dollar budget would you? And would you purposefully limit your budget even though the end result would be a home with less value because you decided to live on a miserly budget? So a home and a hobby aren’t exactly the same, but that’s no less a realistic comparison as is this whole thread.
