Av8r s Movement
(Couldn't resist, he-he)
I thought I'd start a new thread to tell the tale of my new homestead.
The lovely Mrs. Av8r and I have now sold our house in the woods. We had 1 acre in central Wisconsin, near a lake called DuBay. A great place to raise my BX. We sold it becaue I have a new career as an Engineer and my work was about a 70 mile one way commute. Needless to say, something had to be adjusted.
So, to that end, last fall we bought 76 acres 40+ miles closer to my work. It is an absoutely beautiful piece of property, which is adjasent to a 7 acre lake. (typical '80' shape, 1/2 mile x 1/4 mile, the long way is east/west, the lake in on the NW corner of the property, with 4 acres off the SE corner)
The previous owner atempted to start a home there, over-looking the lake, but never built. So a 1/2 mile long driveway and telephone/electic underground runs are done. (Yeah, I know. I figure that was worth about $50k)
We built a 42 x 63 pole barn right away last fall to begin "thinning" out the stuff from our house. That is now full of trucks, cars and pallets of boxes called "storage."
We will break ground on the new house this spring. Untill then we're in a 1200 square foot apartment. (But we got cable internet!) My old e-mail account is gone, if anyone had it, so is my little website of BX stuff. I'm going to start a new one, populated with pictures of the project. So, stay tuned.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.

Don't (we) know it, Ken. We have just settled on a builder today, now to finalize the plan and engineering of the house. We are building a modified version of the below link. It'll look great overlooking the lake.

Update:
Building site is staked and I think we will break ground on Monday or Tuesday this coming week. We have finalized our plan and our "plan of action." Next, its off to the bank on Monday to go further into debt than I though was humanly possible! . In the long run, it'll be for the best, 'cause they ain't makin' no more land like this! We hope to be able to move (again) in July.
My BX is sold to my best friend and hopefully the new L3400DT will be on site by the end of next week, too!
I am currently looking into building another website to post pictures and a blog of the progress, (I cancelled the current one, it just hasn't been deleted yet) so if anyone has an opinion on web hosting or domain name buying, let me know by PM or EM, please.
Here we go...

Update.
Due to the warm weather last week (40's and 50's) the weight limits have been put on the local roads and no digging has occurred. This past weekend we got 10" of wet sloppy snow on top of all the mud at the building site, so we are pushed out even further, now.
GRRRR!
Good news is that I Will be picking up my L3400 tomorrow afternoon. I just don't have anything to do with it right now.
GRRRR!
