More fun. More carpet to rip out.
Take a hint from those who lived there. SOME carpet is a good thing during those brutally cold WI winters.
I love the look of wood/wood plank, but...just say'n. Keep your toes warm.
We went with Luxury Vinyl Plank in our current home and I’m surprised how warm the floors stay. We do have carpet in the bedrooms.

Gene, nice home but do you really want 5 bedrooms and those green steps, wow.
5 bedrooms yes. Most of the colors I’ve seen in the homes have not been to my liking. Ripping out carpet and painting is in the budget for most of the homes.

I made a spreadsheet with the price of the home, maintenance for the next ten years and any remodel or additions needed to make each property what it should be.

Now that my home is under contract I need to find a place fast.

I went with real solid hardwood and Persian carpets.

Put your items in watertight pods, put the pods in storage and rent a place in the area you think you want to live. Make sure there’s a really good latte/sandwich shop before you commit. :mrgreen:

This needs a little help to make it a good hunting area. 70 acres is enough land and it’s ADA accessible.

A lot of property to maintain and how close is it to major airport and medical facilities?

There is NO absolutely PERFECT place. One just has to weigh their PRIORITIES!
I'm sure Gene knows what his are. He is older and probably wiser than most of us.

I have absolutely no wise plan other than to keep my options open and be willing to embrace a new life with not knowing a lot about it.

I will be making more life changing decisions in the next month.
