Barry: I hope to be retiring with in the next few years and our intent is to move your way. We have two daughters that live in Maryland. You buy the shop and I will work CHEAP!
funny you should say that.........
where in MD are they? I used to live in MD also.
We are in Newark, DE and only about 15 minutes from the MD/DE border on I95 and about an hour or so north of Baltimore.
My wife and I moved into our currect home about 4 years ago. I have since learned to HATE this house and especially HATE, HATE, HATE the neighborhood (way too many deed restrictions here) and neighbors.......... don't ask............. !
I hoping that in another year or so I'll be in a better position to sell this place and find another. When we bought here it was basically what I was looking for - a big house, big rooms, and a decent sized fenced in lot so we could get a dog. It was also an improvement that I went from a one-car garage to a 2-car garage.
Since I got my '65 and than recently started doing my own work on her, than I got the '78 project car and did a lot more extensive work on that one I've learned I really like working on these older cars.
I now what to sell this house, and find another one. The house can easily be a lot smaller than this current one but I want a much larger garage space to allow me to work on other cars. I'm thinking a minimum of a 4-car garage, although a 5 car would be even better. That would allow 2 bays to allow room for body-off restorations and repair work on my cars, two bays to keep "toys" stored, and an additional bay for misc crap like lawn tractors, mowers, and all the other "stuff" that you normally have to keep in a garage.
i'd be thrilled to not have any neighbors within a mile of me if I could.......
If I could get a set-up like that than I'd really have to learn how to work on my own cars.
well, we can all dream can't we?
