Kitty, we bought a new concrete CYV, 2/2.
The upgrades we are doing are we are tiling the entire place. From doing research both on this board and other places, we have found carpet does not hold up, due to the sandy-loam soil. So all carpet and lan. is gone. We are replacing all the countertops and sinks in kitchen and bath with garnite and undersinks. We are also putting in pull-down attic stairs in the garage, sealing the garage floor, and changing out the front door and adding storm door. We are doing all these upgrades because this will be our final house, and we want nice. We have always lived below our means very modestly. Well in retirement we are spending to have what we want!
Yes, we will be making several trips down. Were we are at is an 8 hr drive so we can come on weekends, etc. I LOVE to drive so no problem, plus being military, I am sue to long days and early mornings! It is not beyond us, as we have done it, leave home at 3 AM and get to TV by 1130 AM and still have about the whole day!
