We have been off of the MM grid for awhile, and below is the reason why.

We just go back from 3 weeks of being down in Florida and on a week long Christmas cruise to the western Caribbean. Enclosed are some shots of our house under construction in Ocklawaha (Lake Weir) Florida.

We also have sign of some "PETS" in the yard already, pics enclosed.

The roof alone, took 8,000 sq ft of shingles

We're targeting a mid-March turn-key.

That looks like a wrenchers dream home! you could put a lift in the tall garage! or an RV
 
Actually, the living space is 100 sq ft more than the garage space. The total garage space (including the RV garage...with full hook-ups) is 2500 sq ft.

The RV garage floor is reenforced to handle a 16,600 RV load. We will also have a reenforce concrete pad on the outside of the RV garage with hook-ups for visiting friends with RVs.

There is another house going up with a big garage environment, where they have reenforced one part of the garage floor to handle a car lift.

Here is an update video (by the developer) on the house with the lift:

Looks like you could fit a monster truck in that garage. Very nice build indeed. Can't wait to see it finished.

The RV garage is 45'x16', with a 14' garage door. We'll be able to have the slides out on the 5th wheel for loading and check-out before we depart on a trip. With the full hook-ups (50amp power, water, sewer, cable), we will be able to have it up and running inside and use it as an overflow apartment if we ever need to.

Well, we'll be selling a custom built brick home here on 3 acres. But we have had enough of those YEAH WHO's in Annapolis and all the added taxes and firearm restrictions this year. The Rain Tax for one.

The contractor that's building our house has been family owned since 1871 and up until now, has been building $1.5+ million dollar homes and upper end commercial buildings. He decided that he wanted to diversify a little had have some fun building $100,000-$500,000 homes, and bring some of his upper end professionalism into this market. We have been TOTALLY impressed with him so far.

Also after the next few months of winter here, I'll be done shoveling snow.

And no FL state income tax....

The enclosed picture is a sample of the daily December sunset at our local adult beverage establishment, about a 1/2 mile from the house.

Need I go on.

Very nice!! Love the setup! There is not much I can complain about since we moved down here from the DC area almost 10 years ago. I love Florida! :cloud9: Maybe we will meet up at some of the Sunshine State Marauder meets!
 
For informational and research only. If anybody is considering retiring to FL, you might want to check this place out. They have advertised in Harley Davidson's HOG magazine, and Hot Rod and Moterhome Magazines also. They state that they are "Baby Boomer Toy Friendly": www.lakeweirliving.com

You can check the contractor out at this site:
