My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 22

On day 22, I will give the tithe money to my church again, this time for the Appalachia Outreach Program. My wonderful father-in-law has, for years, gone on this trip, even though he is in his 70s to help fix up houses (he was even on the roof!) So, in honor of him and all those in Appalachia who need help, this one is for you!

$2,200 to the Appalachia Group, $19,800 left over. Today the money is going to go to finishing up the Garage Project, as I will now affectionately call it. Some money went to it yesterday, for clearing the land, some equipment and now, today, it will go towards the actual building of it. I just found out, according to this awesome website http://www.garaga.com/build-garage.aspx (just added it to my delicious site) that it would cost about $19,500! Right on the money!

All the Best!

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 21

On the 21st day of my experiment, I am going to give $2100 to my church for the Haiti village we are building. It is such a testament to our wonderful church that it does so many things and has so many ministries. Around here, Notre Dame is the place to be! I am blessed to be a part of it.



OK! $18,900....with that money, I would like to purchase some necessities for the studio I am building. It is kind of ironic that my post for the 12th day was dedicated to the studio and here I am at 21 and the studio comes up again. I will take it as a good sign. The $10,800 going towards my studio would probably be spent on equipment, the $18,900 would be spent on clearing the land, widening the driveway and paving the driveway....$14,000....and the remaining $4,900 will be spent on blueprints, permits and some instruments for the kids to play in the studio. Gavin would love a new guitar and Justin, some great amps and mics. What a happy day!
All the Best!
