yes, thanks everyone for the help with this. Indeed this seems to be the problem and i need to get my exact numbers as i was just estimating earlier. I do have all the dates and numbers. In fact i was there longer... i was there working about 3 weeks non stop on the property, by myself, from sun up till sun down. Good to hear this isn't considered personal use as i felt like a contractor - it certainly was not vacation. Then my kids and wife arrived for about 10 days and we saw relatives but i continued to work on the property some during this time... although no where near to the degree that i was previously. I will get the exact numbers. I would estimate the time when the family was there that i worked on the property 35% of the time.
