GiveHim6 69 Report post Posted July 7 Will be our lucky (we hope!) day. We close Friday on our brand new house in Lexington which is just outside of Columbia. I also officially retire at the end of the week and become a man of leisure. The missus & I have been planning & preparing for this for several years but it always seemed like a long way off till it wasn't. Just as an aside, I hadn't bought a house in 15 years and the process of getting a home loan post-recession has been an eye-opening experience to say the least. It was a breeze in 2003, more like a hurricane in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveHim6 69 Report post Posted October 12 Me neither. 3 months tomorrow since moving day. After getting over the trauma of that and getting mostly settled I finally have had a chance to relax some and also go back to what I dreamed about doing all through my working years: Art. More specifically, oil painting. I have an upstairs studio in our new house and am just finishing up painting #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
