As some of you might know LOML and I have been planning on moving to AZ for our retirement. I have the the opportunity move sooner due to a change in my employment status. We put the California house on the market less then a month ago and recieved and offer which we accepted last weekend so we are in escrow. When I was in AZ last week I picked out our lot (1/4 acre) and the first week of July LOML and I will meet with the builder to finalis plans for the house. Right now my new shop will be 2/3rds of a 3 car garage. Later If I need to I'll built a stand alone shop. Now hear's the gloat part. We will pay cash for the new house from the proceeds from the sale of the California house and still be able to bank some money. Man it feels good to know that I'll never have to make another house payment. For the picture police, I'll post picture of the new house construction once it comences...
