And now after all that work you are gonna move!
That's what I was thinking. :o

I was wrong with the SUPERPAUL name, more like "Masochist Paul". :icon_smile_cool:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Ummm no, i dont find pleasure in self inflicting pain. .  :lol:  Although all my friends and family think so.  I hope the last few years of me busting my balls on remodeling and selling will now enable me to buy a nice house in the burbs close to work, and get a 15 year mortgage and be debt free before i'm 45...

However, we are not sold yet, just looking to see what might happen, believe you me we dont really want to leave our neighborhood, but looking down the financial road at the next 25 years we would be better off in the south west burbs than staying in the city.  (i hope)

Where are you looking to move to?  Eden Prairie area or further south than that?

Yes, Eden Prairie or Minnetonka.  I want Eden Prairie because i work right at 494 and 169.  I'd like to be within a mile or two so i can walk to work.  My spouse wants to be in the Minnetonka School District though so that puts us a little further away from work for me.  EP or Minnetonka schools seem to be the same quality to me :shruggy:

So you went through all of the work to fix the house up to your standards, and then decide to move? Sounds like everything my family has done. Remodel whole house, live in it for about 6 weeks then put the house up for sale and let someone else enjoy all the hard work.

So apparently working on cars/houses is a  way to get your wife pregnant huh? Maybe I should quit putting off the restoring of my 500 so that we can have more than 1 kid too. I mean lets do the math.

Start working on 68 to get practice for eventual restoration on 500, and you and your wife have child #1. Add a second floor onto the house due to child #1, and expect child #2. Decide to finally get the 500 up and running and just take it to a show as is, and low and behold expecting child #3.  :scratchchin:

Ya about that.  Our closing date is set for May 29th.  Two days before Mopars in the Park.  I asked to move the closing date to another time but when dealing with a 7 month pregnant lady you kind of just keep your mouth shut and do what she says.  ... So my trip to the show might not happen because we will be moving that weekend.
If so i will ask a friend to drive my cars there and enter them anyways.  So my cars will be there, but i may not.  We shall see what i can come up with for an excuse though.

Might as well keep my story going here...

House hunting sucks!   :brickwall:

We sell our house, and everyone says, oh great you are in the drivers seat now...  But we want to settle into a nice neighborhood and not move again for 25+ years.  So, we have been watching dream house #1 in the neighborhood we want to live in, its for sale for 8 months and does a price drop from $449k down to our max budget of $299k and sure enough this house sells the day before we sell ours!  What are the odds!   :brickwall:  3 days later and i'm still pissed off.  Now everything we look at does not compare to that house we could have bought. 

Ok i'm done venting now..  :pity:    Going to look at more houses tonight...
