Almost Hole Poor!

To be "house poor" is to have a house you can't afford, such that your mortgage is consuming so much of your income you have to live like you are poor.

To be "hole poor" is then to have a hole you can't afford. We are approaching this stage: we have the precursor to the final hole (similar to a Nydus Network).

Our Pre-Hole

So far we have purchased an old duplex (seen here), knocked it down (seen here), and are now in the pre-hole stages (seen above, more pictures here).

As soon as a full hole is dug we will have achieved hole-poor! Lol.
