Well, you know what's going to happen next if you guys follow through with this, don't you?..........Every smallie's going to need a Pirate name.

The arrival of the baby girls is not what has stalled us from building a weekend home. The issues are more based around security and potentially increasing the total value of the property past its future selling price. We don't know if we will ever sell the place or not, and if not, then the value is only measured by our enjoyment.

What irks me more is that now that the girls are here, we are dumbasses for not having a house there! Hell, I'll probably build a place there next year anyway. Plus, I'm working on putting the second bun in the oven; I'll never get to see my pond after that if I don't build.
