Where in the world...
« on: January 11, 2010, 01:55:50 PM »
have Todd & Debbie been hiding? Ok, some of you are probably happy we got lost... hehehe... but we're just about back to normal & back in circulation.

We had an unexpected, unplanned for home relocation. Nothing negative here, it turns out our local "dream house" that we've stalked for the last 4 years suddenly came available to us! It had been on the market for some time but extremely overpriced. So, we just continued to drive on by hoping that someday... Well, as luck turns out, rather then sell they decided to put it up for rent and that WAS in our price range! Better yet, why not give it a test drive to see if we really like it before laying out all that money on a home purchase! So, as quick as the "for rent" sign went up, I was all over that Realtor like bees on honey! Well the stalking paid off and they chose us as their renters! Ironically after we signed the paper & met the owners son, it turns out he's a past customer of ours! The house was built in 1971 by a builder as his own home so it's very well built as you might expect! It's got all the charm of a 1970's built house but that also makes it fun! Well this all occurred in the month of November so we basically had 2 weeks to pack our tons of junk & relocate! I'm just about done unpacking the last room that needs unpacked & set up. Then comes the hanging of pictures and last is the long term project of the office & the paperwork! Bleck! At least I now have a dedicated office! Oh yeah, and speaking of office, we moved the office from the shop to the home and rebuilt the office room at the shop into an engine build room so yeah, there was that moving, cleaning building as well!

So, here's a bit of the house & I'm sure you can figure why we were stalking it! We were all crammed in a 3 floor 3 bedroom townhouse with our bike overflow at the shop!


Front of house


Garage end of house


Back of house


2 car attached garage










Left bay of 3 car detached garage (Latest vehicle additions; Todd's lawn tractor & Deb's car)


Retro kitchen  :-D


Upstairs living room


Downstairs rec room




Workout room

My awesome in-laws sold me their rockin sportscar, that we picked up this weekend,  since they upgraded to a Chevy SSR.


So that's that. We're tired, we're broke, we're just about done & ready to get on with life and get back to business.  :-D

With all that being said... if you've sent us an email, pm, txt, phone message & you didn't get a response, I apologize and hope you understand that we crammed a whole lot of stuff into a short period of time. We've got a couple responses pending from this past week that we'll try to get out quickly. Beyond that, if you still need an answer contact us again because we're getting back to normal & back in circulation!

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!
Debbie & Todd

Man-o-man, that house is so big that the weather in front is different from what's on the side (by the garage).  Do you live part in the far north, part in the sub-tropics?

Nice house -- gotta find an excuse to visit you.  For that matter, though, you still oughta come up and visit us.

Debbie and Todd,

Great house. I am happy for you. Enjoy.

Nice house.  However, if you're anything like me, within a year it will be overflowing with "stuff".  :mrgreen:

There is actually some room in the shop for customers bikes now.  :) 

You should have seen the move. 

Here is a picture of Deb in the back of my truck on moving day.

After seeing Todd's shop I think the garage would always be like this.  His shop is cluttered but VERY CLEAN and ORGANIZED!  My wife is not allowed to see this thread.

That is a big garage.  You could live in it and keep the bikes in the house.  There is space for a lot of them in there.

Welcome back kids, glad to see you are alive and well, and living in new digs.  Tell Todd not to wade that deep into the snow, love his red coat.  :roll:

Good to hear from you two.  Nice place!  How about a sublet on the North 40?
