Purchase price: $15,000 Cash invested: $6,000 A currently dead oil rig, needs to be revived and put into service.

you were going to have to replace it anyway so what’s the big deal. if I had to wait for a landlord to get around to repairing a fridge likely half  a***ed and jury rigged, or replace it when they felt like it, he’d be getting charged for all of my food that spoiled in the broken refrigerator and billed for every time I had to dine out until it was fixed. 

BARE is an awesome meetup in the area along with John Fisher Breakfast Club and RIG.

The money is the 10-18 lens ($300 more) and the lighting rigs.

Our rig has two AC's and we keep it on the colder side, bill averages $150/mo.

@Carl Edelman, I am all kinds of bad news on contractors, I have had prices double of what was estimated, I have had some leave town with a few thousand dollars in tools in the back of their rig, I have had several drunk on the job, and of course lots of no shows. 

We had a guest try to sue us for rigging up their own second hammock and swinging on it while drunk. 

They're basically jerry rigged dampers.Bedroom 1, which is one of the two closer bedrooms and the one that doesn't have these special permanent "dampers," is super cold most of the time. 

You can also help this guy rig up an LCD-bulb clip-on desk lamp or two to a simple electrical outlet timer to turn on at a certain time and shine a light or two in his face to help him get up.

If I move forward with this plan, I'd opt to get a very nice rig, to try and compensate for the "I'm vacationing in a trailer feeling".
