    Default May have found our retirement home...

    Cindi & I spent last week looking for a place to buy in Eastern TN that will serve as our retirement home...We found this great cabin in the mountains in the Greeneville area that we love...It's got an issue with water in the crawlspace and we're waiting for results of an inspection before we make an offer on it....Trout stream in front, barn with 4 horse stable, loft for hay, seperate part of the barn for vehicle storeage...That would be our Spyders and a hot tub to boot...Wish us luck on the inspection...I really want this place....

    I had a french drain and sump pump installed in our crawl space. Took care of the water issue. Looks like a nice property.

    Well, eastern TN seems to be the hot retirement spot. Wifey and I will be in the area on the 12th to look at a few retirement homes. Wait, did that come out right??? Finding a log home with a decent barn or garage that they don't want a fortune for is the trick. Oh well, got nothing but time.

    Not sure why so many of us seem to be gravitating to log homes in our retirement. It isn't logical.....but they sure are neat!

    When we get it out of the ground. Just finally closed on the construction loan yesterday. It is amazing how long the banks can draw these things out. We start digging the basement today.

    Default My retirement home

    When you get divorced at 50, younger women and toys once again become a priority.
    Now, its not a log cabin, but it is some nice mahogany, with good ventilation. I could probably trailer it until needed.
