New House, and more... - JohnC - 05-30-2004

Well, it's about time I shared this with the group...

Jess and I closed on a house last Friday. It's in Fluvanna County, VA - the mailing address is Palmyra, but the house itself is way out in the country. Why did we buy a house in Palmyra? I got a great job offer from a software development firm in Charlottesville - and we both decided that NoVA held no more charm for us Smile So by July we'll be living just southeast of Charlottesville. Yes, there will be a party. And no, Mapquest doesn't have our place listed at all. Apparently, gravel roads don't count. That being said, we'll only be a couple of hours from VIR, so hopefully I can expect to get down there much more often. And of course VMP is less than an hour away.

The lot itself is 2.15 acres. Yes, there will be a mini rally course. Bring your own volvo :twisted:

As for the house, 3br/2bath, and most importantly, a 2-car garage. The L already has one side reserved through the winter, for a complete top-down clean-up and refresh... It's also got a cool nook in the garage that I'm considering for a built-in wheel/tire rack. Also cool is the fact that our next-door neighbor (one of the two houses we can see from ours) drag-races an old-skool 515ci Camaro (he was headed out to VMP this weekend)..

So, life is good. Any MM-er in the area or passing through is always welcome (but for my sake please call ahead!) - we'll have a guest room. You bring the beer Smile

I'm already budgeting for a detached garage/workshop/office/"Fortress of Solitude". Definitely won't happen for a few years, but it should be cool.

That being said, the next-door neighbor is building a detached garage next month, and I'm sure given his interest in racecars that it'll have some interesting features ::keeps fingers crossed for a lift::
