Our blog is about keeping builders with growing inventories that are being beaten on by the banks from stepping in it.The sole purpose is to have a place to tell your story and to read those of others. We do not want to bash, but to make a place to see there are others out there. Share the stories and methods that worked and ones that brought on more headaches….the ones that did not. We have lived through some pretty tough scrapes by holding strong. Not wasting precious resources by fighting the institution or defending the act of not paying our obligations, but by showing the aggressors that this is not a market that any one builder or person caused. Showing them that we did not cause this and that we share the problem with the banks. It is up to them to notice that we are not going to just roll over because they beat on us. Stand tall, help your brothers stand tall, and for Petes sake, when they take swings at you, don’t just take it. Push Back.Post your story under one of the topics and share your story, you can remain anonymous but please, take the survey, share some of the tools that worked for you to keep alive.

Letting go of the toys...

Lets say “part of letting go is letting go of the old lifestyle, this is a lesson we all need”.
Too often builder/gamblers get too many toys and during the good times we earned them.
Now we must simplify and survive.
Use your toys like logs on a fire, the winter will be long and cold, stoke the fire.

The k-cycle winter cannot be bypassed. Not by Greenspan, not by Bernanke, not by Paulson, not even by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, whatever that is.

The bankuptcy cascade, it is still on the horizon. Won't be long coming now.
