    Well, I have been there, and done ALL that. We owned a house for 2 years back East, and it was the hardest 2 years of my life, hands down.

    This time around however, we bought NEW house. So, I am hoping that we won't have any serious issues for at least 5 years....

    And out here, there is almost NO yard work!

    All that said, I spent the last 3 days tearing out all the carpet, tile and vinyl flooring to make way for the wood and nicer tile that is getting installed this week.

    If you can swing it, now is the time to buy.

    Yup. That's why we talked daughter into buying rather than renting.

    Yup, we were patient, and looked and looked and looked. And we were also a little lucky. We found a new development going up, went to the sales office, looked at a floor plan and liked it, then they told us about the incentives they were offering for that particular weekend, and we just said, "where do we sign?". It was THAT good of a deal. So good, it afforded me a completely finished garage!

    I bought my garage 10 years ago. Upgraded the lighting, new doors, etc. Still looks like crap. But it makes a great "crib" for my VX. Oh, yeah, it came with a house attached. Go figure!

    Yeah, I want to put some nice florescents in there and a sink. I really don't understand garages that do not have utility sinks.

    Mine even had a checkered line, with ''Start" on the garage side And "Finish" on the street side. Wife freaked out, and I had to remove it. Guess the checkered garage door is out of the question....we don't agree on decor. She always wins.
