[69MyWay]

Just got word last Thursday that I had been selected for a position in our Florida regional office about 200 miles from my current location. (Central Florida in Winter Haven-between Orlando and Tampa south of I-4)

My start date there is 9/26.

MAN, have we got some MAJOR work on our hands between now and then...and then for a while to come. I still have to put the replacement 9" in my Camaro...YIKES!

My company is very generous on relocation benefits. However, we have to squeeze some last minute major repairs (new roof, carpet, etc) to our current home while also shoping for a new one down south!

Houses are SO expensive right now. Just because I am getting a larger price for my current housethan what I paid for it does not mean I am now in any better position to buy another that has also inflated in value. Only the realtors, tax collectors, and mortgage companies have benefited from this recent spike in values.

Trying to find a place with extra garage space to keep my cars under cover, plenty of nice interior features, and a good location for our son to live.

Anyway, if you don't see me around here much, you know why.

If anybody is looking to relocate to NE Florida and wants a fairly inexpensive house with FOUR car garage (1/2 bath in the second garage/workshop), in a fantastic location...speak up fast because it should sell quick (about $179K).

See you guys around!
