    I like this one. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...3578017_zpid/?

    but the wife doesn’t like the lanei , says it’s to small. And the house is quite a bit smaller than our current home.

    Im already tired of house hunting.

    The boat dock is really nice. And that house is nice looking.

    I guess it depends on how many people you entertain at once. Since moving to 1400 sq ft we can’t have more than 10 guests for a sit down dinner. In summer we use the outside patios and have 20. I have a friend that has to entertain 100 people for her husband’s job so requires a big home. We can entertain more in the house if we do it buffet style.

    We finally have a contract on a house. It’s a little larger than we need, 2500’, but it’s in a good location. Now hopefully we can get a good price for ours, I really don’t want to own two homes for long.

    And I can start looking for a new boat to put in the backyard.

    The wife is already making plans for changes, new paint, bathroom remodel, landscaping, new flooring, light fixtures, appliances, countertops, blinds, and extend the dock. Hopefully I can keep her from moving to many walls around. I think she watches to many of those home improvement shows on TV.

    We don’t close for a while so I have time to start looking for contractors to start the work. In the past I would do much of it myself, but these days I’m more of a supervisor.

    Enjoy the new place -- and whatever it becomes -- and the new boat!

    It sounds as though you have found a perfect spot to enjoy.

    How exciting! So good to hear this happy ending! Renovations are overwhelming at times, but really fun, too, especially if you aren't doing the labor!
