I have a friend who is putting on an addition, tripling his living space.
The tale is too long to post but reads like a greek tragedy. One problem after another with contractors, inspections, supplies, design etc. He's way over budget, in the hole and his employment situation isn't the most stable in the world.
The wife unit and I will NOT be going this route.
She has fallen in love. Her idea is to move to FLORIDA, buy a small place after selling our current digs. But not to actually LIVE there. Oh no! We're becoming nomads, wandering aimlessly from locale to locale, making friends and enjoying our golden years. In
this!
I'll feel right at home as the drivers' seat looks just like my truck. But more gauges.
