We sold everything but 20 acres and have neighbors easy to live with. The decision to sell the chunk wasn't an easy one but balanced out practical and emotional at least by our definition. Our daily commute challenges the practical but for now, we think it was the wise choice.Coop a.k.a.

Tougher to sell to a stranger. <br /><br />WI land can be inexpensive, but you have to be able to live out and cope with isolation and major inconveniences. I like about 5 acres and good neighbors. That's perfect.

I intend to stay rural if at all possible but there are times small town rural looks enticing. We do truly value our privacy.<br /><br />We've been here over 20 years, built every stick in the house and Great Gramp on mom's side started it all in '84 when he came from Germany. It does feel like home.Coop a.k.a.

The cold, sand, etc. don't bother me in the spring but I do my best to hold off until the residue is washed clean.<br /><br />Historically, the salt was mixed with sand around here. Now many (our county) areas use a liquid that comes out of pickup mounted sprayer, the spray patterns obvious on dry roads, maybe 10" apart. So, much less sand in many places, especially on bridge decks and nasty corners, intersections and so on.<br /><br />I think the Symba's are beautiful machines with impressive build quality...hope you like yours!Coop a.k.a.

I suspect I'll get caught and have to spray the Symba down with WD40, then wash it off in between the episodes of chemical warfare, and then finally get around to giving her some real protection. Oh well, if it weren't for my ability to procrastinate, I might not be really good at anything.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.com
