Big diff! ;-) Nowhere in the listing did I see mention of a library.<br /><br />A friend and I thought we'd offer $150K, max out our Home Depot credit cards to add another bathroom,put in a few bookshelves then flip it for $175M.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-62881656424016664652010-09-14T10:35:10.720-07:002010-09-14T10:35:10.720-07:00Speedway, you've got that right.
