Hopefully the house is 10' above the high water mark of the creek.

About 25 feet.

Congratulations, Joe! Is the small river deep enough to float your boat and does it head to the lake? That would be a plus if it does ...

Nice looking house ... I am sure the carpenter/handyman in you has already seen a lot of "additions" to do to the house.

Now to get your house sold ... but in this current market that shouldn't be too hard to do.

There is a structure that will become a two story garage with a studio apartment above and it will have a basement that will be my workshop. Mine. ALL MINE I SAY!!!!

Says the man who knows it will be 5/6 hers when it is finished. He will have a small corner ...

Yeah I get that , its good to be able to shoot stuff from your toilet window (.22 )

Don't hunt, but never grew up either.
Can't imagine neighbors would be into live music, skinny dipping in pool, bush hogging at 5 am or firing up the outboard before heading out to fish at 4 am...lol.

Bear in mind, the next County over, litterly across the creek from our propery, last year manadated the use of electric lawn equipment to curb air and noise pollution. Even set up a website for people to download pictures of offenders for prosecution.

And to think, we are supposed to live in the land of the free ... but then I guess the people of the county are free to leave if they so desire.

We'll start another thread for that if needed.

There really isn't much to do at the house other than putting on the back deck off the bedrooms, going to do screened in covered porch. New deck boards on existing. May convert the carport into a garage, TBD.

On the garage im safe because it is away from the house and she doesn't need or want the space. She will have her ass firmly planted in that living room and I foresee a fire going in the summer while the air is on...


The river i think has a 25 hp limit and is 90% canoe and kayaking and would be too small for the boat. I've got my eye on a square stern 14 foot canoe on marketplace. I can go upstream and float back or down and power back. It does go to my lake, but downstream. Currently i can get upstream about 3 miles as the crow flies to my house but thats in spring when really full.

Both sets of kids are big into kayaking so I'll be able to take them to drop location and they can pop out at the house and have their vehicle ready to go and prob a snack. And... mamma can babysit the new little while they are on the river so everyone will be happy.

Signed the paperwork to put our on the market on 15th. Pics next week. We are going crazy sorting thru stuff. Amazing how much crap we've accumulated in 18 years.

 

[roscoe]

want it, my wife now thinks we are too far from family. I’m too old to start over so we will have to downgrade and have to

Tell/Ask the wife if she is sure, absolutely positive, that the family didn’t move away for a reason.

I left the family to join the USAF. Chased a woman to my present local upon retirement. 15 years later I married a different woman who isn’t from here either. Our parents are in their 80s. Going home sounds good but fiscally challenging and somethings have to be sacrificed. For instance, nearest boat worthy body of water is about an hour drive (I just put Live Scope on it).

When we moved, after 23 years in our home, I ordered the largest trash bin I could get delivered to our home. Don't remember the yardage but it was big..could park two cars inside it ! Filled that up and two more !! Never knew how much crap we had accumulated......

 

[redneck joe]

Well we currently have about equal parts move, trash, donate. Feeli g pretty good.

We lived in our house for 27 years we had a barn 2 2-1/2 car garages I had 4 big roll off dumpsters that we filled. We bought our retirement house and got rid of a lot of junk, even though the retirement house has 1 more bedroom and 1 more bathroom and twice the square footage of the old house at the ranch.

Same here, we added another 1200 sq ft, plus a 24x24 heated garage and a 24x40 two story pole barn to our retirement home. Probably will need numerous semi trucks when time to clean this one. Been here a little over 25 years now and it is scary when I look at all the crap we have stored !
