I have to agree with @racecougar , I have the EFP9, it's well built and it easily accommodates my Suburban, long bed pickups and even my Miata.

Damn! I'd love to see pictures of that setup! :thumbup:

Wow! Haven't seen those in quite a few years!

And typically, it's better built than modern stuff.

Yep.

I'm currently leasing a car condo 5-6 minutes from my house. I have to agree with @PoorUB , even though mine is a quick drive, I would probably spend more time there if it were in my backyard. However, if you're looking at it for remote work, and might start another business, it might be...

Not necessarily lugnuts, unless you live in the rustbelt. But don't forget the dreaded Honda crankbolt.

Ha-ha! When I bought the house I'm currently living in, I didn't notice the bars in a couple of the bathrooms. After I had been here awhile, I started thinking about removing them, them someone pointed out that I'm in my late 60s. :eyecrazy:

If see doesn't like to drive, that's going to be a major hurdle to overcome. Just out of curiosity, how close are you guys to retirement? If it's not that many years away, you can just wait and build/modify on your current acreage. After she retires, I assume she's going to be doing less...

Kinda surprised at those numbers, but I've heard that a lot of things are more expensive in your neck of the woods. Around here you can get a 800sq ft for typically a little less than $200K. I'm leasing a 1300 sqft They've offered to sell it to me for about $300K. And at the local CC's that...

A few years ago when I was planning on buying my retirement house, I floated the idea of moving back to the small town where I was raised. I could get a good piece of land, and a nicer house than what I could get for the same price where I live now. My fiancée's response was "I'll miss you".

Location, location, location. Cost varies widely deepening on where you live. My cousin who lives about 80 miles from me can get things done for generally 30% less than I can.

Agreed. Some of the close in suburbs are going crazy here. The houses are generally in great condition, good schools, low crime, stable suburban government, etc. Whenever one of these 1940-1960s houses, (Ranch, Cape Code, Custom) goes up for sale, it's snatched up by a corporation that puts...

Wow! Sorry to hear what's going on out there. That always seemed to be the only Garage Condo place in the area that was doing well. My place just tripled in size, but they're having issues leasing/selling units, so we will have to see what happens. As yourself, I've been contemplating adding a...

I pretty much only use the EZ Anchor stuff, or similar anymore when I can't hit a stud. I've had really good luck with them.
