    Yeah, I'm happy. But a blind man doesn't know ugly until he feels her face, too.

    I make do. I've got cheap rent in the country, up North, and I'm building a place to live, down South. Farm life is miles away from regular living standards.

    In about a month, my man cave tent will be done, and all will be well.

    Pool table, bar, couch, some solar powered lights. I figure I can do a lot with a 20' x 24' tent.

    Yep. I get to park my truck about 30 yards away from my build site too. That way, I don't have to make room for a bed, closet, pantry, etc.

    Totally showing up my boss. He lives in one of those tiny trailers that look like a Japanese hotel room on wheels.

    There may be envy.
