instead of moving up closer to Greers Ferry! We've been to our lot about once a week, been out to dinner with Kathy & Bill Corroum (other Monaco owners who live nearby in Jacksonville), had several dinners with our daughter and son-in-law and done LOTS of running around! We've been furniture "looking" (too early to actually be shopping since we have NOWHERE to store anything we might buy)! We've looked at exteriors of homes to get ideas, interiors to get more ideas, riding lawn mowers, doors, windows, pool tables, appliances, furniture etc. etc. etc.! I've finally resorted to bringing my camera with me almost everywhere so I can remember what we saw and what we looked at!
What we've finally decided is that everything moves at a slower pace than we are used to. Might be more typical than we know of since it's been over 30 years since Don last built a house from scratch! We hope to break ground last this week!
Our plans have been drawn and everything's been approved! Bad news for our motorhoming friends! We had hoped to have two full hook-up spots but our lot is only perked for a 3-bedroom house. I guess they "see" motorhomes as having two bedrooms so with two spots that's four additional bedrooms! So forget the sewer! As far as two spots go...our house is very long with the RV garage on one side and the other garage running sideways. One spot is all we could manage because of the same aforementioned septic system, but if we ever have two motorhomes at one time (besides ours which will be in the garage), one will be parked in front of the RV garage with water and electric! Oh well...I know we can all "dry" camp for a few days and heck, the price is right! :-)
This picture shows Greers Ferry Lake. We will live in Emerald Isle. The heading for it is at the
bottom left hand corner pointing up. Emerald Isle is on what is known as "the Narrows".

Glad to hear that you will be able to start the building of your house. If like when we built ours 10 years ago (wow that long ago)will be fun but also full of challenges. When is a move in expected? Looking forward to seeing pics as construction continues. Oh, what was that thing you talk about looking for a mower can not comprehend that word. Enjoy!
A mower? I think I have one of those around here somewhere. It may be that thing I have to keep moving in the storage building to get to the pool stuff. Have not started it in three years. Just slip the neighbor kid a few bucks and he takes care of the place.
So, when can we stop by? We usually take 40 then 30 when we go to Dallas and must be fairly close to where your are.
Have you thought about declaring Emerald Isle an Independent Republic and then seeking aid from Uncle Sam? Could have many tax advantages as well:-)
