Perhaps a few forum members will meet you both there,now that you are so near to Sin City as opposed to being an East Coast Couple.
It may take a while to get used to the new weather: Cold and very HOT in the summer. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/vef/?mystation=CMP12
I hope that both of your new jobs will be OK,Rick and Rita.
Upon my retirement,I did think of moving ALL of my stuff there,but backed off.
"If you live there,don't gamble and if you gamble,don't live there"
That is one of the reasons that I chose to make my decision final.
I applaud you in your decision and I hope that you both will be happy there!
Hey,the taxes are MUCH less and what you get for the(new house)
$$$ is killer.
Make your own changes to the house as you see fit and make it your dream home. Is it big enough?
Get out your Saw Zall and do it.
Do you have many "honey-do's?"
I would have.
My stuff: 3 car garage and work shop and new power tools w/220V. service to make her honey dews come true.
Her stuff: Change the bathroom and the bedroom and the KITCHEN RIGHT NOW,Rick.
"My stuff comes first,Rita,then we can build."
I hope you are close the the local Home Depot/Lowe's 'cause you will be a fixture at those places.
I'm just an auto mechanic, so I cannot help so much with the remodel,but I have been a home owner for 22 years and I can help with electrical,plumbing, sheetrock and framing.
And I work for beer,at the end.
Just gimme the power tools!
