Yes ... probably. I'll be in the BoA headquarters on N Tryon when things go back to normal, if they do. They seem pretty adamant they're a "work from the office" company at heart but no one has made any kind of real decision yet so I guess we'll see.

Not exactly heard great things about Lake Wylie.
Either south or north traffic on 77/85 is pretty brutal. Nothing like NoVa, but might make your life pretty brutal.
Yeah I feel the same. It might not be so bad right now but they're going to start construction on the toll roads running south soon and they're running it to the border allegedly. That's probably going to be hellacious for a few years. So many new construction places too. Sticking to the North side, Lowe's is still an option as is anything in uptown but staying south of the border means I can take the train in and not worry about getting out of the city everyday. Can't really find a spot in Fort Mill with bad schools and the taxes are definitely significantly lower. I pay like $1,800/year right now, can't imagine $500+/month.

Def more outlets in the garage, did that here.
Also gonna do a 220 and a couple of 40 amps out there.
Also def doing power and ethernet for the tv hookups I think like 4 are included.
Good idea on the garage fan. Prob gonna axe the included lights add ceiling outlets and plug in my own leds.
I'm sure you already know this but I'm definitely never doing any sort of high maintenance siding ever again. Even if there are solid contractors in the area to do the work, getting a call back was a damn challenge for me. Work had to be scheduled months out and was still kicked out a couple more. Lot of people just straight refused to even quote the stain job because of how uneven the lot is. It's the main, and practically only reason, I decided against keeping the house even though projected revenue for a full house this month is over $7,000. There just isn't enough rentals and the timeshares suck ass. Just easier to walk way while I'm up and not deal with this every 2-3 years. Not doing anything other than composite decking either, I'll get it built covered if I have to.
Definitely undervalued having a nice level yard too. Would play with the kid outside in the evenings a lot at the old place, just can't do that here with my .1 acre cliff of a front yard.

Hey, leaving government contracting behind was like 3 years overdue. Capital One was ... idk what that was. Poorly managed and very poorly timed is probably the nicest way to put it, so I'll leave it at that. The goal was always to break the NoVa/remote golden hand-cuffs, that was always the driving force. Definitely don't regret going back either. That was a rather glorious career-building 9 months. Managing my own contract for 6 months and then sifting through the garage of the failed modernization effort was an honest resume-maker. A little more experience with things at scale and I'm likely set for life.
