w00t new job!
After being a bum all summer and fall, I got a new job today! I am the Product Service Manager for Petters Worldwide Consumer Products. Basically they are the ones that sell all the Oster, Sunbeam and many of the Emerson products. The parent company also owns Sun Coutry Airlines and Polaroid.
Their service side is in horrible shape right now, so I get to come in and whip things into shape. They are growing rapidly, but had $100M in sales last year for this part of the company. Not bad for 15 employees! The company as a whole has 3,200 employees. The commute isn't going to be a lot of fun, they are on the corner of hwy 7 and 494.

Re: w00t new job!
Jet we'll have to kill rush hour traffic this spring/summer with some more golf. Coure rush hour for me will mean a 20 min drive vs a 15 min drive! lol
Flip that house, get inside the LOOP! lol

Re: w00t new job!
Sounds like a plan! My commute from Ham Lake is going to suck ass, but oh well. I am up for some golfin' and telling Cassie i am stuck in traffic I can guarantee the bike it going to get more miles on it this next year! Splittin' lanes baby! 
It was a fuckin' awesome day, the talon sold today and a guy is coming to look at the GTP tomorrow morning. We have some wiggle room on that one, so i am sure it will sell. That means we have enough money to buy the house!! If the GTP sells tomorrow, I am gettin' fuckin' drunk!!

Re: w00t new job!
Congrats on the new job.
But because of the job, flipping this new house and moving somewhere with a shorter commute may not be a bad option. Take the money and run.

Re: w00t new job!
Nah, we'll be staying there for a while at least. If you saw the house and how much we paid, you would agree. We will at least finish off the basement to get as much money out of it as possible. The kitchen needs a remodel down the road too and we want to take out the main floor laundry room (there is one upstairs too) and expand the formal dining room. The appraiser said it would be about $530k with that done. We paid way less than half that

Re: w00t new job!
Congrats, be glad they finished all that construction there at 7 & 494. That was a pain in the ass when instead of having nice onramps/offramps they had stoplights on 7, made for some sweet rush hour traffic.

Since he's living there, he'd want to keep it two years though to avoid capital gains. That wouldn't be fun on $200K+. Although you can roll it into the next one. We'll be doing this real soon ourselves.
