    Sorry the carpet/shoes obsession keeps me laughing.
    Is that because carpet is so rare in Russia ATW?

    Will you make the tenants take their shoes off at the door?
    Why would I want to?
    It might be my house, but it is their home.

    I mean we're not talking fame here, just small venues.
    I believe the beggars in London earn more than that, and they don't have to play any music.

    It's not just about the cost. What kind of example you will be setting for them? You shouldn't be surprised if they will just try to squander all your money after and then go on the dole when it's run out.
    You are going to breed wage slaves.

    Having said that, they make life worth living.
