Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 14 Oct 10 - 07:43 PM Well, thankee, C-Bear... Seems that every house we have looked at had at least one geetar in it... The best thing about this house --- okay, not the best --- is that even tho the P-Vine say's "over my dead body" that there is a place for my 1953 Spartanette trailer/music studio... Okay, it might not make the journey but then again, it might??? Anyway, we both feel good about the house and the land... That's a good thing... Now fir seein' if we can actually get a contract hammered out... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: ClaireBear Date: 14 Oct 10 - 07:35 PM Wow, it's beautiful and at least some of the rooms are already used to having guitar played in them! Ya done good, Bobert! |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Oct 10 - 05:29 PM KT, Bobert ain't never gonna be North of 60 or even 50. He's sure he'd freeze up solid. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: KT Date: 14 Oct 10 - 05:13 PM LOL! You got both from me, Bobert! I hope it works out for you, though I wish you'd considered a more northerly location - like maybe latutude 58 ..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 14 Oct 10 - 05:07 PM Yeah, kat... Ol' Bobert ain't been all there of late but... ***** NEWS FLASH***** We have found our dream house!!! Yup, it's in Wingate, NC just 45 minutes south east of Charlotte... Has a nice one acre pond... It is secluded at the end of a 1/2 mile driveway... Has room fro veggie garden and lots of woods behind it... Right now the realtor has a few questions to get answered but if there aren't any spooky answers then we'll probably put a contract on it tomorrow... Oh yeah, it's MLS#849687... Fir those of Faith, prayers requested... Fir heathens, crossing of fingers will do just fine... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 14 Oct 10 - 03:08 PM Ummm, Bobert, did you mean "SRS?" I don't have a PM from you and have been away part of today. Good luck with the new spots to check out! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 14 Oct 10 - 12:29 PM Will consider, Rap... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Oct 10 - 10:28 AM Bobert, it's all gonna be under water when the Global Warming thing starts. Move out here and I'll let you play my duck call as you sit on the shores of the Pacific and think about all those states under water. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 14 Oct 10 - 08:26 AM Actually, kat, we found that one yesterday with our GPS... Nice house, wrong location... It is in the Town of Concord and Cabarras County as well which means twice the taxes... But nevermind that... The entire back yard, what there is of it, is fill and at the end of it it drops off like a cliff... That means that the back of the house may not be all that stable... Plus, no sun for a veggie garden... Today we are going to look at: 1290 Summer St, Mount Pleasant, NC, MLS#929672 and... 1040 Snyder Store Rd. Wingate, NC, MLS#849687 Check yer PM fir my cell phone number in case you run into somethin' juicy that we missed... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Oct 10 - 12:35 AM I'll take a swing at the sites myself later, and look at what Kat came up with. Meanwhile I've studied that map and figured out that the Google map I posted before probably marks where the mailbox is on that house I sent you a link to. I've played with the Google map and recentered it so I think you'll see that the house (you have to look for that single dormer over the porch roof) is back in the woods from the road, but the creek is on the other side of an access road/right of way behind the property, looks like. I centered the map on that house, even though the mailbox still has the symbol. Too wooded for any gardening other than shade plants. But sometimes it is good to look and rule out a place, then you don't keep stumbling over it again. (I thought I'd ruled out this house I'm in several times, but when it kept coming up in my searches I finally took a look, and it was the one!) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 13 Oct 10 - 10:48 PM Yeah, 77, Janie... We came down on 95 because of the Richmond Folk Festival but that is the long way home from here... Sniff... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Janie Date: 13 Oct 10 - 10:37 PM Nevermind. I see that I-77 to I-81 is the sensible route *sniff*. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Janie Date: 13 Oct 10 - 10:32 PM What route are you taking home, Bobert? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 13 Oct 10 - 09:46 PM I would if I didn't a a bully-boy who is an absolute arse to any others, other than the one other I have who matches him in weight and being assertive. I do have a friend who lives near Wallace, NC. (Anywhere near where you want to be?) She is as nuts about her critters as I am and may know of someone there who would cat-sit. PM if you really want me to pursue it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 13 Oct 10 - 09:40 PM Thanks, kat... Do you do cat-sittin'??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 13 Oct 10 - 09:33 PM I saw some on Lake Wylie, too, Bobert. We moved from a 25 acre mini-ranch, where the cats had free range of hundreds of acres if they wanted it, in WY to an ancient colonial in a small village in the Berkshires of Western MA, right on a main road. I kept them all, all seven of them, inside from then on. And, that was after spending TWO MONTHS in a motel room with the three kids and the dog while my Rog was in Nigeria and other parts, working. The cats and I and the dog went for daily walks, on leashes. They adapted. However, I am giving thanks that you find the perfect place for you folks now and it will all work out. This or something better for the highest good of all concerned. Take care, kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 13 Oct 10 - 09:20 PM Well, thanks, kat... Unfortunately, those are all a little too far out of Charlotte... Nice places, tho... That's why some are such bargains... Well, we kinda goofed off today... Saw one house on our own in the Concord area... Not us... Going to see two tomorrow afternoon... There is still one interesting one in the Lake Wylie area of SC we're trying to get to see... It's 6 acres on a lake (no, no Lake Wylie) but about a 30 acre lake... And in our price range... This ain't gonna be easy... I keep wondering what we'll do if we sell the farm and haven't found a place and have to rent (with our four outdoor-ish cats who only know about living on a farm... Well, like EB has said, "I do live an interesting life"... Little too interesting, at times... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Ebbie Date: 13 Oct 10 - 03:02 PM Listen to the man, Bobert. He speaks from long experience. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Rapparee Date: 13 Oct 10 - 02:32 PM Hey, Bobert! You'll finally get inside plumbin'! Just remember, them corn cobs'll plug up the pipes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 13 Oct 10 - 01:34 PM tks..I love to dream!:-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: gnu Date: 13 Oct 10 - 01:28 PM Great job kat! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 13 Oct 10 - 12:26 PM OH, what the hey, I am having fun, so...How's About THIS ONE? ONE MORE, though not as pretty, imo. Did you say you wanted ROOM FOR HORSES?:-) How about more than THIRTY ACRES? This one is really ELEGANT LOOKING with 5+ acres. Ah, well, time for me to go to an appt. Have fun! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: katlaughing Date: 13 Oct 10 - 12:01 PM Bobert, I don't know if this is in the right area, but I set the search parameters for within twenty miles of the first one you looked at. Anyway, check this out...it has almost seven acres: In Salisbury, NC THIS ONE has 24+ acres, if that isn't a typo, plenty of outbuildings and a swimming pool, but the inside looks out-dated to me, plus it's out in the wide open, needs some trees, but still 24= acres, wow! I like the looks of THIS ONE with 3+ acres. Again, don't know if I'm in the right area, but it sure is fun to look! One more with TEN ACRES. Want me to continue? |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 13 Oct 10 - 08:21 AM BTW, meave an' Magz, One of our problems is a lack of living space... We need a minumum of 2000 sq, ft. I could tell from the pic how much space was on this house but it doesn't look like 2000??? Some house pics are deceiving, however... I couldn't hardly find the house but seems to be the one kinda in the middle of the woods which is okay... Never saw any stream... I used the "birdseye"... BTW, we're here until Saturday so if ya'll find anything else in Lincoln, Cabannas or even perhaps Gaston Counties, that seems to be our target area... Remember the kitties... No thru streets 'er we'll be having funerals 'cuase they don't know about streets and they are wanderers... Thanks again... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 13 Oct 10 - 07:36 AM Thanks, ya'll... Not too sure how I missed that one... Seems like nice house tho I can't seem to find it on the "ariel" satilite image... The pics has it looking kinda close to the road which we are trying ti avoid because we will be moving all 4 of our cats, three of which have never know anything but living on the farm... But I'll try again to image it and see how it is situated... Thanks again and if ya'll is bored and find some others in that price range, with 1 acres up, 2000 sq. ft, room fir gardening (both shade and crops), we will check 'um out... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: gnu Date: 13 Oct 10 - 06:10 AM GE takes me to Quiet Cove Ln, Kannapolis, NC 28083. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: maeve Date: 13 Oct 10 - 05:59 AM I was looking at that one too, SRS. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Oct 10 - 01:07 AM Found it. It is a pretty house, but you do need good soil to work with. It takes a lot of time and work to build up soil if it's missing. I thought you might be looking at 479 Countrywood Road, Concord, NC 28025. Love that front porch. Can't tell anything about the yard. See if this gets there. Or this (the print view: http://www.realtor.com/print/Default.aspx?lid=1111255734). When you look at Google maps you can see the creek behind it, and a small reservoir further on. I couldn't find the creek on the map for the Quiet Cove house. SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: maeve Date: 12 Oct 10 - 10:19 PM Good luck, Bobert. I hope you and the P-Vine find exactly what you need. Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 12 Oct 10 - 10:17 PM Nevermind... The P-Vine and I just had a heart-to-heart and the negatives outweighed the pluses on this property... Too much storm wash thru it... No flooding mind you but all the top soil is gone so that says somethin' about the runoff problem... Other than that??? Great house... We'll keep lookin'... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Oct 10 - 08:49 PM Give me a road so I can see if I tracked it down in my search? SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 12 Oct 10 - 08:41 PM Well, we went back today ans while the real estate agent and the P-Vie were inside I went back in the woods with a 25 year old survey and was able to locate two of the 3 pipe back there and looks as if thr creek ain't quite in the property but... ... I'm purdy sure it is in an easement meaning that we kinda have access to it... I mean, no one hardly knows its back there 'cause the woods are so thick there so... ...I donno??? OPne of those thing that we're gonna have to think on... The house is in great shape but will need some tweekin'... Maybe $15,000 worth to make it really great... I donno??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: gnu Date: 12 Oct 10 - 07:16 PM Creek? Details???????????????? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Oct 10 - 07:05 PM Check on the flood insurance and flood claim history on the property, Bobert. That can make a huge difference in the selling/asking price and how much you want to move into the ground floor. I'm on a creek in Fort Worth, but we're partway down a ridge so it rushes past and gets over the bridge in heavy rain. Look at a topo map for your area (bring the new place up in google maps and look at the terrain.) Enter the address, town, state, and zip in the box on the right on this page (one-step flood risk profile) and see what it tells you. It'll list a gazillion agents to sell flood insurance; your insurance company agent can probably sell it without going to a separate agent. When I switched to Amica I left my flood coverage with Allstate, because Amica doesn't write the policies, they would refer it to another company. I absolutely love living on my creek. The beauty of the water, the wildlife, the ability to pump water if I want to, it's all there. But so is the potential hazard. My house has never had a claim, but insurance is still worthwhile. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Oct 10 - 06:29 PM I kinda think you might possibly perhaps survive that, Bobert.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 12 Oct 10 - 08:01 AM LOL, Capt'n... These kids all have their homes and, more importantly, their, ahhhhh, jobs!!! Jobs??? Yeah, jobs... Not a lot of opportunity in the job market back in Mayberry... Heck, I can live anywhere an be happy as long as it ain't no "dry" state or county... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: GUEST,kendall Date: 12 Oct 10 - 07:54 AM Have you considered making the kids move to Luray? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 12 Oct 10 - 07:35 AM Yeah, other than that big garage out back with a nice (unfinished) room upstairs (future mens club house) it's real nice to have a real creek... With real water in it!!! I mean, here in the Mid Atlantic we have been in drought to see a creek (with water) means that it must be spring fed... That opens up a lot of possibilities.... So, fir ya'll believers??? Pray... Others??? Cross yer fingers... Thanks, B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: gnu Date: 12 Oct 10 - 05:35 AM Sounds nice Bobert. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Ebbie Date: 12 Oct 10 - 12:49 AM Rap, get busy and wrap up the Luray hotel property. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Bobert Date: 11 Oct 10 - 09:50 PM Come on down, Rap... I'll furnish the bugs... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ol' Hillbilly Movin' to NC??? Maybe... From: Rapparee Date: 11 Oct 10 - 09:45 PM Hmmm...only a couple acres...well, we can double up in the tents and stuff I guess. Let's All Gather At The Bobert's say, next Spring, for a giant Cat Gathering. Sometime when the heat, humidity, skeeters, and chiggers aren't TOO bad. |
