We've been waiting over four months for the remodeler to get an opening to do the upgrades we wanted in our basement. We had downsized our home after the first of the year and moved into a much smaller Villa, that's Realtor speak for a duplex, The basement has a small finished living room and a half bath now. We're having a shower added to the bathroom and finishing a bedroom with an egress window that will become my model room. At this point in life while I miss the old "big house" and the grounds, taking care of it all was becoming more than we wanted to deal with any longer. They even mow and edge, weed and feed, and anything needed in the yard. I just fill the bird feeders and watch the golfers go by from the covered patio. Life isn't half bad at the edge of the prairie. Been thinking the same! We have an enormous house here in Pennsylvania. We are looking to relo back to New Jersey to be near friends and family. In NJ there are a lot of 55 and over communities of single family houses. These neat little houses all in a row, I call them Monopoly houses.. my wife was pushing this option. These little houses aren't cheap. Could easily buy a much bigger house in town on property for what they sell for. I was not happy. Finally she realized we couldn't do our thing in one of these restrictive communities... she recently said we needed to buy a real house. Just smaller than what we have now!

Your real estate market may be like ours and from what I have seen most everyone else. Unless you want to pay north of $225.00 per square foot you're not going to get a really good quality build, at least in this area. The materials not to mention the craftsmanship just isn't what it was 20 years ago when we built our previous home. The old house was a custom build and not what I call a "track house". Even in top condition with zero defects according to their building inspection, 1/2 an acer over looking a 24 acer lake and that only brings $150.00 to $158.00 per square foot used. Not counting the lot this home could not be reproduced for that price. So depending on what your life style needs are you may be better looking at a late model home that fits your needs and end up with a better built home in the end. New homes are great in many ways but you have to look at what you're getting for your money. For just the two of us this works fine. The down stairs addition, completing a half bath by adding a shower and finishing a portion of the basement as a bedroom, which was an option the builder offered, will raise the value of the home by more than the cost of the improvements and I get my model room back just like the old house. I sure miss that oversized three car garage though. Good luck to you no matter which way you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMiles Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Just got an email from our tv provider, YouTube TV. Nbc and its channels will be canceled unless NBC gives them the price YouTube TV wants to pay. On a positive, they will reduce the price by 10 dollars per month if this happens. They mention that peacock is 5 per month which gives the channel We have hulu so we can watch the 1 show on nbc we watch the next day. I hope they just get rid of nbc for good and keep the 10 dollar discount Edited September 28, 2021 by MrMiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I haven't seen the Blue Angels show in person for many years, but anyone that hasn't and is even in the same state when they put on a show should attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea,excellent pics.Every once in awhile we get some really low flying military helicopters go over my house..Not sure where there coming from.And they are loud.🤯I really like the Geico plane.Something from the past.Wonder why Geico’s name is on there.More of their constant advertising i guess.🙄Or is that some sort of military lettering?,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 There’s a helicopter museum in the next town so we get a lot of low and loud chopper flights over the neighborhood. When Biden is home in Delaware, fighter jets patrol our airspace. The ladies on our NextDoor app are always complaining about the noise!
