They're Coming To Take Us Away!

We are looking at doing the same thing? Now we are looking at building also, but not a log cabin.

We are a bad influence! pps:

It sounds better if you just say, "Trendsetter". :thumbup:

Well, Scotty and Nancy...if you are crazy, then WE are certifiably insane. (That could be true, even if you aren't crazy). :roflblack: Ed and I are looking at places down here, with the intention of getting off the water and into a one story home. We found a one acre lot that we like (I'm drawing the line on property much bigger than that) and are meeting with a builder tomorrow. Looks like we might be doing the same thing as you guys, albeit on a smaller scale...only difference is, we're dealing with Ed being on chemo at the same time. I keep meaning to ask our financial planner if it's the right move at this time in our lives, but I'm afraid he'd have me committed! LOL. Good luck with everything! :thumbup: Maybe I should just have you send your plans down here and we could take them to the builder...we won't need quite as big a pole barn as you since you are WAY ahead of Erags in the toy department! nojoke

I thought Ed's idea of a dream home was a big concrete block barn with living quarters at one end...LOL.

BTW, I may have more toys, but yours are more expensive.

Congrats Scotty and Nancy,
I know this is something you have been thinking about for some time. I am more than willing to help you if need be. I am a pretty good at electrical and can throw a hand in on anything else to help. I am not far away so feel free to get a hold of me and I will be there. This is a big project, don't be reluctant to call.
Kevin

For those of you that have been around for a while, you may recognize the subject as a take-off on an old song from 1966. I'll let it go at that, but it aptly describes our condition.

Nancy and I have been seriously looking at land for many months. On Thanksgiving Day we took a long Spyder ride, and found a promising piece. We looked at it closely the next week, and bought it immediately. We now have 11.5 acres with woods and a stream. Since then we have taken the madness to a new level...we are building a half-log house on the property. After weeks of looking at models and plans, drawing and modifying plans we liked, then scrapping everything and starting over, we have selected a log company and a builder, and have submitted our preliminary plans. This is an insane thing for someone my age, with a long paid off mortgage, to do...but it does cross a thing or two off our bucket lists. Wish us well!

I hate to leave the place where we have lived for 33+ years, and the polebarn that I built to house my treasures, but in the bargain, I will get a brand new pole barn, much larger, with room for a car and bike lift and for all my toys. Too busy designing the house now, but the barn design will follow soon. I expect I will build that myself, while I let the builder deal with the house. There is only so much climbing a ladder and swinging a hammer that an old fella can tolerate.

If I am online less, and don't seem as active, never fear...we still ride Spyders and love them dearly. We'll will remain active on SpyderLovers, but we may be a bit busier with other things from time to time. We hope to be at Spyderfest and the Owner's Event...among others, but if schedules get tight, we may have to make some adjustments. Let's hope there is time for everything!

Bring on the straight-jackets...here we go!
