home...err.....houseless

hmmmmmm....listed our house in ohio a while back. Realtor said it would probably take a year to sell. Accepted real good offer 37 days after it hit the market, closed last week. We don't take possession of the new house in NY until April...that's how we set it up, as the owners wanted to wait until spring to move out.

So we're houseless for a bit, but certainly not homeless. We've never been rver's before this last spring, now we're livin' in one as if it were our home. Heck, I even built a garage on it the other day !

Gotta luv it........

Hey Bill, show us some of the photos of the garage you built on the Monty. That certainly is an interesting mod for sure!!!

When you finish installing the automatic garage door opener put up a picture. That will be fun to see. Stay warm in Branson!

Nice addition. May I ask how you attached to the Monty - type of fasteners? Been thinking of doing something similiar to your mod.
PS - I love the Branson area, have been there many a time. When I was working our home office was in Harrison so spent a lot of time there. I think my favorite show is the Baldknobbers.

Hmmm! I noticed your comment on "..tv when necessary." Does that equate to "being in the dog house?"

p.s.. saw your web site and the photos on remods. Wish you were nearer, I need a bath remodeled.

Not attached at all...basically, I built it to be 1/4" shy of the leveled monty, then simply lifted the landing gear a few inches, put 1/2" pipe insulation between the garage and monty, then lowered it back down. Nice and snug..45 mile an hour winds the other day, didn't even twitch.

Well, after visiting the surgeon yesterday we found out my implant surgery is a big fat goose egg...the implant leads are now floating all over the place and they are trying to determine if they can even go in and fix 'em...so no remodels in my near future, sorry.

Bill, that means we'll be neighbors. I'm 10 miles south of Letchworth, between Mt. Morris and Dansville, just up on the hill from I390.

Bill, we'll have to get together some time. I live off Rock Spring Hill road, which leads right up to Tusky. You're getting into God's country up there.
