By the by, thanks for the comments. I was beginning to wonder if people were getting tired of this thread.

Sandra in Sydney, you may get your wish. I am hoping to get down to your neck of the woods before the year is out. My daughter's best friend is attending college in your town and I've always wanted to get to Australia.

MMario, I just don't know how I'll handle that house. As I see it there is a room for my library, one for my woodshop, one for my daughter and one for me. Each of the upstairs bedrooms has a sliding glass door that opens on to the balcony. There are very few houses in the neighborhood so there is a nice view, though it is only open ground and not the ocean or any of the deep valeys of the interior.
