Hi Mary & Bob
I have talked to you before on other posts.
We bought a lot last Dec and plan to move into our new Designer home in July. We looked at resales but found in the kitchen that most of the counters are laminated. We want granite. Plus some of the resales had carpeting throughout the living and dining room areas. We want tile except for carpeting in the bedrooms. In some of the kitchens allot of the cabinets were either too light or too dark. We will upgrade our kitchen cabinets. This way we can design the new model to our liking. Our friends told us to buy our own clothes washer and dryer. We are also renting two PODS from NJ. Our cost is about $4,300. We are trying to only use 1 POD as we are not including our dining room set which weighs about 2,000 lbs extra. What we did ahead time is lock in the gas rates so when we move in July if the gas rates go up our price will be lower. Most movers in NJ cost between $8,000 to $10,000 and all these movers only give you 60 per lb of damage insurance. If you want to insure all of your furniture the price goes up between $500 and $1000. So that is why we decided to use the PODS. Then I heard even with the extra damage insurance it is so hard to file a claim. We have no grandchildren yet but if that happens, then we will go back for a visit. Yes we have heard you do not get the greatest medical care of doctors or dentists, but for me I need to see other types of specialists for some of my other health issues. So I did find two doctors and I hope they work out for me. Good luck. Patti & Carmine
