    It's going to look amazing. I note you appear to be taking advantage of financial perks of new job

    I didnt take the job. We couldn't agree on salary. Last conversation with manager went something like this:

    Him: That's more than I make!"
    Me: Your inability to negotiate a fair salary is not my problem".
    ��

    I honestly didn't want the job due to all the negatives, but I will have to figure something out in a couple years. My years of being in the field are reaching end times.

    My quick thinking reply is this explains the DIY labor (which can be a lot of fun if you have the time).

    Glad you held your ground.
