Yeah, we'll tackle the boat issue once we get down there. Trying to decide do we want a bass boat or a bay boat.

From what I have learned from several years working at a boat dealership here, if you are planning on doing some saltwater fishing AND freshwater fishing, I would go the bay boat route. If you are going to stay strickly freshwater, than I would go the bass boat route.

Be sure to check out Key West Boats too. They have a quality bay boat with a great resale value and a good price (plus, I know the owner of the local dealer too).
 
Hey Jay, I looked up Lake Weir and there is a Bird Island there. Is that where your house is?

Bay boat, if you have any plans of fishing in saltwater go with the bay boat.
Don't rule out the used market.

Look at Black Jack
Sea Hunter
Lake & Bay
Although the Blue Wave looks nice too.

Look at thehulltruthdotcom for info on your purchase before pulling the trigger.
 
Man your new place looks good and I forgot about the State Tax 'Delite' ,i have family that made the Exodus to Florida some years back for the same reasons you and the wife are going [ NRA dues paid ] LOL // Have a Great time and your MD custom built should sell with no problem ,

Including the RV garage, we could probably stash 9-10 MMs in there.

An in-ground screened-in solar heated pool is scheduled within the next couple of weeks as part of the plan.
 
A shot from today as they start the stucco process. Drywall next week.

Marion County Building code dictates the block. For that area of Florida the house needs to be able to sustain a 140 mph wind. Every 16" (I believe) there is re-bar and concrete in the wall, connected to anchor points in the foundation. And then the roof trusses are tied to the re-bar.
 
Are you in a flood zone? Flood insurance here in SC took a huge jump for folks closer to the ocean. Thats a fortress, not a house. Lookin good!

Technically, they haven't for 50 years. Those are cement blocks, no cinder in them. :P


Why did you use block instead of a poured concrete set-up, at least for the living quarters part of the house? : dunno:
