Soon as the roofing company gets the roof finished and hauls off the debris I can take some shots.

Congrats Chris on the promotion! We're planning a trip to Eckler's Reuninon this year, would be a great opportunity to meet up again? That's if you're not all too busy, which is totally understandable!

Welcome back to central Fla. It's pricey down herer too. I could buy a killer house with land cheap in Tenn. The old car shopping is alot better there too.

Hey groovyjay, it sounds like a plan!

Rad...once the Rambler is done you can cruise down on Saturday and do the Kissimmee Olde Town cruise with us at night. They do it every Saturday, and it blows the local Jacksonville cruise away.

This moving stuff is an emotional roller coaster. Everything is in the balance along the way. We know the house we want to buy, just not sure if we will get it. Having to wait and see as the time ticks away.

The new job is sounding more cool by the day. Looking forward to a change of pace at the office. It also requires considerable travel so I might be able to look some of you guys up when I am around the country.

Roof is almost done on my house. Have to swap the 9" out in the Camaro still and wrap up some other small stuff so we can hit the market with this house by next week.

Was painting until AFTER dark last night on the north wall of the house.

Hey.. what about me?

Everybody likes pictures...so here you go.

Looks like we have a deal on our OLD house down there. Details are pending. It wasn't even for sale, but it is surprising how powerful simply asking somebody a question can be and putting your faith and trust in God that it will all work out.

These pictures are from 1998 when we first saw the house in central Florida. The current owner has allowed the yard to get out of control AND the house is covered in mildew/slime. The screens are torn from the pool and there is some other wear/tear here and there. He is also a HEAVY smoker, so the interior has to be gutted (sounds like a regular project..eh?)

If you look at these photos you will notice the lot sits on the outside of a bend in the road. The backyard is state property and is all thick woods. The yard is 3/4 acre with a well and irrigation system. The house gets city water for drinking but has its own septic.

Specs:

approx 2,000 sq foot
3/2 (main house)
wood frame with siding
central vac
hardwood floors/ceramic tile/carpet
indoor laundry
vaulted ceilings
LP water heater and remote control lp fireplace
covered patio
15x30 pool fully screened
oversized two car garage on house
**Notice in the building to the left in the photos. This is a 25x35 workshop with a/c, cable, FULL bath, and attic storage. It is divided off with a tool room to the right and general parking in the main section.

After we moved there in 98 I added a huge driveway to connect the shop to the main drive. We did some fencing work and landscaping work.

Right now you can't even see the shop for the overgrowth. It is like a jungle. We have some work on our hands, but once cleaned up again she will be a jewel with plenty of space for our family, cars, tools, equipment, and close to most of the places we want to go in the area.
