Who else here is frugal?
@glupson...and I didn't respond to your query re 'homes', which I meant as a 'owned residence'; a single-family house.  As opposed to an apartment, condo, or that which one can't 'enhance' without raising ire or some similar crop of irritance..;)Y...

fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed
I've gotten 'kicked' periodically, the reason/rationale for which made me curious as to 'why'.  But, overall, I can't complain and frankly won't....It may be a 'public forum', but hosted by a private entity; if I trip over a 'boundary' (perhaps un...
