yeah. If we had the freedom to make that part of our decision process, it would definitely make sense. But we moved to this town specifically so our kids could grow up knowing their grandparents, one of whom (my dad) had a cancer scare last year. If not for the family factor, we'd have stayed where we were 'cause we had, to me, an almost perfect place. The only thing I could say is that the placement of the house on the lot only left room for about a 20x25 shop, when I'd really like something at least 25x30. But it was a price I was willing to pay for not having traffic, allergies or bugs, and only seeing 90F+ temps for maybe 12 hours per year.
Totally get that, I’m lucky in that part as I’m moving my parents too. Both have cancer and we are lucky they are willing to move with us to be near their grandkids and us.
Sometimes the money is well spent to have those memories. Best of luck, you will find your own little slice of heaven there.
I thought I’d never get own my dream property and shop. It’s taking me to a new state but it will be worth it.
