Moving into My Study.

[Streeper541]

I just wanted to share a short story with everyone.

Last May we sold our home. For the past 235 days I have been living with my family in a 32ft travel trailer while we built our new residence on the 8 acres we purchased a few years ago in preparation for my wife's military retirement. Yesterday we got the keys!

We moved in a table last night to have dinner. Our furniture & household goods start being delivered today. By tomorrow evening, my study will be pretty much setup.

Right now it's just an empty 12x20 room in the basement with a dedicated exhaust fan... I'll post pictures once I get it all setup.

[Grangerous]

Way to go! Best of luck in your new home! I’m excited for you… claiming that smokin chamber!

Congratulations!! Awesome place. I bet you guys will be very happy to get out of that "travel trailer?" is that like an RV?

 

[mikethompson]

Wow! Nice setup with lots of land.

"travel trailer?" is that like an RV?

I'm picturing this:

 

[daveinlax]

I picture a big screen TV and a couple of comfy recliners with a big side table between them!

Congratulations!! That's a beautiful house and I'm sure that you and the wife will provide the love and care to make it a home. I'm sure you didn't happen to purchase those 8 acres with the off chance that a deer or two may wander onto the property. Enjoy it all.

Sorta. Once the campground kicked us out at the end of the season I tucked it up between the barn & the house.

Nice house! Glad that you can finally settle in ?

Yes... after spending the past 20 years moving around the country with our Coast Guard duties, we are very happy to finally be settling into a place of our own for good. It is quite literally a dream come true.

Congratulations on your new house. Is the fan you talked about a real exhaust fan or one of those small bathroom fans??

It's similar, but a little larger than a bathroom fan. It is also hooked directly into the exhaust vent.

 

[Infantry23]

That's wonderful! Congrats on the home, the study, and your wife's retirement! ??

Looks nice. Hell, I'd be happy to call the camper my smoking lounge.
