   Clay, find a seasonal motel that needs a bunch of work in return for a month's stay in one unit.
   Beach or Mountain area. Most are busy in July, with a slower August, and could spare a room in return for a jump on the-end-of-season maintenance and repairs. You provide labor and tools, they provide materials and insurances.

   Where are you moving from again? And why NYC? Life seems so much easier almost anywhere else unless there is a special atraction to the city itself. Some people just can't seem to do without it (including one ex-girlfriend i wouldn't follow there). But with dogs cats and heavy tools to move around... Why not scrounge work in the burbs, live in the city if you want (you'll want to garage your truck or folks will be opening it all the time to check for interesting stuff).

   Andrew,

   1.) Grad school, baby.
   2.) Yeah, I agree with you, we're planning on living in Jersey City (but I'm going to tell people Brooklyn, JC doesn't sound very tres chic.)

   HA! I suggested Brooklyn to the ex as a compromise -- she was in Manhattan. She said she'd just as well move to another state altogether. That parochial mindset gets old quick. There is a lot of status-consciousness there. But there must be tons of work in the Jersey burbs, no? -- skip the rotting $4 tunnels and bridges altogether. Grad school = public transit.

   Uh, you all may remember me as the spirited young buck taking his dog/truck/tools (forgot to mention wife--ooops!) to the Big Apple. Well, occupancy here runs out Aug. 1, house there (trading small reno jobs for cheap rent) won't be ready till AFTER sept. 1. Any ideas for the interrim (sp.?)? Hostels out--dog wife cats tools. If no response to your response, send sympathy cars/ donations to Walt Whitman Commemorative Rest Area c/o N.J. Turnpike Authority.

   Thanks, Clay B
