We're lucky to have found and nab it quickly after going on the market.

 

Excellent.

I guess you can tell we're pretty excited. LOL

 

Holy crap Deane, that is absolutely incredible!!!

With the little I've been on here lately, I've completely missed this thread. Wowzers, what a gorgeous piece of property!!!! You and Heather must be soooooooo excited to move in. I spoke to Heather briefly on the phone today, and if I would of known of your purchase at that point I would of given her a hearty congrats on the purchase.

Congratulations to you both, very well deserved!!

Btw, sorry for the game of phone tag we've been playing lately. At this point, I think you're it.

 

Thanks Shane. LOL, now you know the news.

I rang you again and now you're it!

 

Are you living in your new place by the sea now, Deane? If so, how is it?

 

Hey Craig,

We got the place June 30. We've been there weekends but spent all last week there while I was on vacation. We have an apartment in town close to our work for the next year while doing renos and until retirement.

My carport garage conversion is nearly done and I'll post pics in a week or so.

I took a few pictures from last week and will post them up in the next few days.

We're loving it.

 

Cool. Congrats on the closing, and I hope the renos and the retirements go smoothly.

We're getting serious in our "retirement property" shopping - hope to have something in the works soon. More to come if it firms up.

 

Thanks. Right now we feel we found our shangri la. The gardens/grounds, the beach, the vistas, the sunsets, the wildlife, the privacy....house will be a compromise after our last place but after some renos it will serve us fine.

Good luck on your shopping. Can't wait to see how things go for you.

 

Definitely subscribed to see some summertime pics and renos. Deane, you and H must feel like you are living in PARADISE at that place! So beautiful, and I'm sure you are both looking forward to getting moved in permanently next year!

 

^Thanks Shane.

Yes, we'll definitely be happy to be permanently settled. Two places and lots of upheaval isn't my cup of tea.

Here are a couple of pics from last week.

Simply beautiful Deane!

 

Thanks Shane. I just put a couple of more pictures up.

I took down 17 trees the past week and did major limbing to another half dozen. Stained the outdoor cedar shakes on the garage- 2 coats and painted the garage interior 2 coats, pressure washed one set of stairs and stained them to match the 1200 sq ft deck......working vacation.

 

That is spectacular Deane, great pics.

 

Thanks Ian.

 

Outstanding view, Deane! Those first three pics of morning mist and low tide are amazing.
