However, not enough to make a big dent in the gains.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm thrilled our junky little weekend house has turned into such a bonanza for us -- but tens of thousands of dollars owed in taxes (when I wasn't expecting to have to pay them) really smarts. (Ouch -- thaaaat's gonna leave a mark.)
