Bought a house in Friendsville, TN.

[Skinhead]

Closed and started moving in on Nov. 7.  The house has been vacant since April and really needed some cleaning, big thanks to Kevin and Jill Brinker, and Kraig Delker for their help moving in and cleaning.  Also big thanks to the Brinkers for their hospitality putting Kraig Delker and I up during the whole ordeal.  I'm slowly making headway, I got the carpets cleaned, no furniture yet, that is coming with my son Eric on Friday. 

I needed to pickup a microwave today, last one at Lowe's.  It was too nice out to drive the cage, so I took the bike.  I got some strange looks in the parking lot while strapping it to the bike.




Here's the house

[Jess from VA]

Nice house,  Great garage.  Nice view.  Hellova backyard patio.

Great state!!  It's where I was headed until I stayed put.

Strange lamp. 

Ya done good.    

[f6john]

I love a walk out basement! Very comfortable looking place. I'll have to look up Friendsville!

[ridingron]

Nice looking place! I bet you got the neighbors talking with the lamp!

It's a major award.  And yes it is fragilé.

Two homes.  The wife wants to stay in Michigan, can't figure that one out.

[Skinhead]

Nice central locale, so how many bedrooms...just in case! 

Three bedrooms, 4 baths.  There is a kitchen in the lower level as well that needs a counter top and some drywall patching.  Room for air mattresses if too many house guests show up.

[Skinhead]

Thank you all for the nice comments.  Let me know if you're in the 'hood.

[GiG]

Looks  real nice! Have you met the neighbors?
I'd love to see Eric's new bachelor pad, congratulations!

[henry 008]

wow! you beat me to it! I want to move to E Tenn when I retire, and live near the cool kids 

[Farside]

  Sweet, Congrats on the move. Looks like a great place you picked out. Nice wall out back with a great view too!  Can't figure out those that like to stay in cold weather. My cousin just moved to MN last year. I know it's pretty but just too cold for too long. My bet is she'll be down soon. 

[Rams]

Golly, Gee Whiz!   I just noticed the pool cover/tarp.

Let us know when you are hosting a pool party!

On second thought, just stick with a Valkyrie get together, some of us are better looking with all our clothes on.

[Fazer]

Oh man.  I am so jealous!

[GiG]

An old guy like you really should have a bar in the shower !
Maybe Kraig can help you out with that project, he's got bars strategically placed

I concur... This is a nice one I think...



Hopefully now that ya'll have one foot in a free state you can slowly start convincing her to make TN primary... Either way, nice place!

[Reb]

Excellent selection!

[thedon]

Good move, congratulations.

[Oss]

good job !

[f6john]

As one of your Tennessee neighbors would say, " you just can't hide money!"

[f6john]

Just checked, 175 miles +/- from Richmond. Secondary roads about 195 miles and adds over an hour of travel time. It would be worth it to not have to deal with I 75!

[Skinhead]

Thanks all.  I talked to Smokinjoe yesterday, he said they are full up with damn Yankees, so Henry it sounds like you waited too long and I'm the last damn Yankee allowed in.

[hal47]

Like your lamp

[Valkorado]

Very cool, Skinhead!  Exciting times for sure.  Congrats and enjoy the new digs!   

[Hook#3287]

Nice shack, great location and that back yard screams "Party" 

Went though that area last spring. Beautiful.

Your a day trip to some of the best riding in the lower 48.

[cookiedough]

very nice, more bathroom than bedrooms though seem overkill.  I guess never can have too many poddies, just in case?

No idea how we lived with 1 small 5x8 bathroom, but we managed somehow growing up. 

never understood owning 2 very nice places so far away, but am sure the wife will eventually come to her senses and prefer TN.   Am looking for a shack up north but anything over 150K is not going to happen and if under 100K,  most are not worth buying and the misses prefers indoor plumbing.  LOL 

[RDAbull]

Thanks all.  I talked to Smokinjoe yesterday, he said they are full up with damn Yankees, so Henry it sounds like you waited too long and I'm the last damn Yankee allowed in.

I'm half Texan, does that help?

Great place Joe.  When does the bar get set up?

[3fan4life]

Thanks all.  I talked to Smokinjoe yesterday, he said they are full up with damn Yankees, so Henry it sounds like you waited too long and I'm the last damn Yankee allowed in.

I don't consider you to be a Yankee.

Actually, everyone that I know from Michigan might sound like a Yankee but they don't act like one.

Maybe, I've only met the good ones.

The cover just blends in. If you hadn't mentioned it I never would have known.

[Jersey mike]

No room at the inn? Bummer we had our eyes on Tennessee a possibility for relocation when it's time. We'll see what happen when it's time for a more serious investigation, right now I'll just keep looking through Zillow.

[Willow]

Michigan supplied almost 100,000 union troops during the war between the States.  That amounted to about 25% of the male population.

Just an observation, but a large percentage of the Southern population today are descended from northerners who migrated south.

It is likely that very few of Michigan's population are Southerners who migrated north.  I'm pretty sure Michiganders are Yankees.    

[Skinhead]

I've only lived in MICHIGAN for 40 years, I'm a Pittsburgher.  Still north of the Masie-Dixie, but I'm from the south hills of Pittsburgh, so I consider myself a southerner.
