Zeek 2,286 #32 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Well, the relocation is final. We settled on a house in the country with 5 acres on April 1st. Our mailing address is Bushnell, FL, but we are closer to Nobleton, FL about an hour or so west of Orlando on the Gulf side. Country, cows and horses - not a tourist area, so don't tell anybody where it is I apologize for not posting in a while. We have been very busy getting our stuff from PA to FL, changing DL's insurance and doing fairly major remodel of the house we bought. We have been living in our RV next to the house while replacing floors/vanities/etc. and doing a total interior repaint. It's me for the most part and EVERY project takes twice as long as thought. Plus I discovered a few aches I didn't have back when we built our other house 19 years ago... plus we want to get everything done before hurricane/rainy season. If you don't like hot, this isn't the place for you, but on the other hand, it's been sunny almost all of the time I'm a cold sissy, what can I say... GOOD NEWS - all the Wheel Horses and other restored stuff I'm into made it to FL unscathed! There in the WAY back corner on the right (552 is in the house garage). Fortunately, I have about for times the garage space I used to have! I have to confess that I had to get something a little more robust and user-friendly for cutting about 4.5 acres of grass every week so I got a Gravely that works flawlessly. Hey it's still red(ish) BAD NEWS - Sadly, I'm not going to make the PA show this year That has been my favorite event every year and I will miss seeing all the regular attendees. We are coming to PA for a week in June to finish some business up there but not until 6/24 sadly. I kept the trailer that I can sleep in so my goal is to get back up there next year once things settle. My wife likes the show as well so, wouldn't surprise me trade the 5th we for a smaller toy hauler. We'll see . . . I'll miss you all at the show Edited June 3, 2019 by Zeek 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,946 #35 Posted June 3, 2019 Good to hear from you again Tom. I too will miss you guys at the show this year. Just doesn't seem right. But like all my friends and relatives who have moved from this area to Florida, you will be back when you get tired of the heat. We have friends who have been in Mt. Dora for about 10 years but are looking to relocate to Indiana as soon as they find a suitable home. Mrs. M and I will be in Florida with the daughter's family the week of September 28. Will be about 1-1/2 hours away, so chances of meeting up with you are slim, but who knows? How about posting some more pictures of that building? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,405 #36 Posted June 3, 2019 Good to hear you are settled in Zeek. I hope you enjoy the new place. Remember you are retired so you have nothing but time now to work on stuff! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 3,126 #38 Posted June 3, 2019 Welcome to Florida, if your a cold sissy then your damn sure in the right place. It's June time to start learning about what you need to do for Hurricane Season. Other than the heat, hurricanes and retired yankees (oops) it's a great place to live. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r356c 375 #39 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Welcome to Central Florida, Zeek. Good choice with the Bushnell area. It should stay semi-rural for a while longer. Your Bahia grass pasture is in for a real treat getting mowed with that beast of a Gravely! If the pasture needs over seeding, try https://hancockseed.com. The seed is grown only a few miles from your location, so it will be well adapted for the local conditions. I'm sure the horses will still find plenty to do.

953 nut 58,238 #40 Posted June 4, 2019 Great to hear from you. If you get tired of the Sunshine State you can always consider becoming a "Half Back"! I was born in New York State, lived in Florida most of my adult life and then mover half way back and settled in the mountains of North Carolina. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #44 Posted June 4, 2019 Great to see you settled Zeek! I’m a little jealous of all of that storage space! I wish you all the best at your new digs and might I say you look a lot less stressed these days. I’ve got 9 more until I can hang up my hat then it’s on! We’ll miss you at the show. Be safe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsmeraymond 4 #45 Posted June 4, 2019 Btw, if you will need a source that could provide for your kitchen countertop. Just in case you might need. I got my granite with them. You can check this source if you want. Enjoy! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's hard to tell from the pics, but the doors on the front are 10' high a 6' in the rear and a 24'x40' dimension. They framed it for windows, but I didn't get them installed yet. We put sod down around the base to keep the soil in place. Rainey season is coming and it's mostly sugar sand here so you can't throw grass seed and straw down, it will just wash away. After spreading 2,500 lbs. of sod I discovered a few aches I didn't have before. 6 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeek 2,286 #49 Posted July 30, 2019 Well I FINALLY finished painting the entire inside of the house as well as replacing two bath vanities/sinks/etc. Plus I got up a little memorabilia from PA. I live right off I75 in FL so at least they don't think it was stolen here Unfortunately over the past few months I developed a painful shoulder issue that has resulted in two shots and an MRI. Two labrum tears (not rotator cuff fortunately) . . . so we'll see if the last shot of yesterday works If not knife time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
