I need to change jobs and change the place where I live.

I honestly don't want to go on vacation. I'd rather take all of the money I'd spend on vacation and put it into the house so I know i have a better chance of selling it.

How much work are you going to have to put into it to get anything worthwhile out of it? You've always said you have to take a loss to get away from it.

Well with me doing all of the work I'm getting it done at a fraction. I have the ceiling stuff delivered so that will go up in the next 2 weeks and then it's basically just carpet and the downstairs goes from unfinished to 270 sq ft of additional living space with a new full bath that I built making the house a 3 bed, 3 bath house.

I've always wanted a pool and a deck. This one is right by where I grew up.

I want this, with an updated kitchen/entertainment room, Basic bedrooms/bathrooms would be fine

So since NY was too expensive we are trying to figure out where else we'd like to go... There's a crap load of places that are a lot cheaper than NY with so much more to offer. I really want to do Canada...

A circle tour of Lake Superior is gorgeous... Actually so is Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Traverse City... I push that place on everyone. Chip knows.

I have never seen any of the great lakes. I want to do Niagra Falls, but if I do that I want to make it a DBN thing.

Niagara Falls is great for a weekend. Hotels aren't too much, and they have a bunch of good Groupon deals. But food is really expensive.

Toronto is like a mini/nice New York.

It's too far for it to be worth it for you probably but Mackinac Island is great.

I'm on my way to Nashville, the coin came up heads so I'm not driving. Which is dumb because I would have got about a grand for the miles.
We're just inside Kentucky and it's been showing and raining the whole way.

No snow or rain here, but it's dreary. Are you just going for the day?

Nashville tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
Then Birmingham Alabama tomorrow night and Saturday morning.
Then home Saturday night and maybe into Sunday morning

I want that, but I want the property behind it too.

That's a drainage pond

Hey, as long as I can look out the back and not see a single house. I hate being surrounded by other houses. And I want a huge yard.

I look out my kitchen window to the pit lake right now. In two months it will be a gravel road.
