Gene, that Medford home looks nice. The carpet needs to go but at the price, adding hardwood would be easy to afford.
That’s what I think. Tear out all the carpet and put down No 1 Common White Oak. I did that here. My house here is all hardwoods except for tile in two bathrooms and the laundry room.

Then I bought $20K worth of carpets. Mostly Khals, Kazakhs, Sumaks and a Baluch from Afghanistan and some Bidjars, Kazakhs from India. I can bring my carpets with me. I have furniture from the Goodwill on top of the carpets. I need new furniture.

I want a fresh canvas say about ten acres.
just curious, are most of the places you are considering located in areas that have property owners association or local zoning/covenants ..... in our area, most newer developments have pretty tight rules as to what can and can't be done .. :?:

In Montana yes lots of CCR’s and HOA some stating specificity NO SHOOTING. But there they have so much public land it’s no big deal. In Texas it’s a big deal because almost the entire state is private land. Wisconsin seems to be somewhat in the middle. Hunting has a lot to do with shooting in these three states. I say if I can hunt on my property just like everyone else then I should able to shoot year round.

I’m looking at properties where shooting can be done safely. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s safe. The second thing I need to do is be quiet about it. Both in talking about it and the actual sound of gunfire. Quiet rimfire and pellets should not be a problem with 29 people living in a square mile.

More fun. More carpet to rip out.

I’m making a spreadsheet for different homes. I’m adding up not just the price but what it would take to get me moved into a home that I like and the maintenance for the next ten years.

Yes it’s been fun looking at the properties and dream of living there. But now that I’ve sold my home I need to find a new one fast.

Nice, wonder if the tractor and mower come with the property, you will definitely need them for the driveway and lawn(?). Wonder what the hay is for, don't see any critters, maybe feeds some deer in the winter.

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.

Was thinking the same thing those green steps and the green on the inside would be the first to go.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
