Sweet collection. I'd be very to store the Cayman for a few years to help you out - and it would be heated in the winter.

NOT in the little house with the big garage. The big garage will probably be down the Cape. I hope I find the little house, big garage for sale so that I don't have to try and get a permit to build it.

Where does the land exist there for you to do this? Land in the DC area, even way out, is very expensive. Developers buy up a lot of it. So I assume you are thinking a rural area wherever that is? How far away from where you live are you willing to travel? Or are you relocating to a more rural area yourself? It does sound like a great idea if you can find the right piece of property.

My hope is to find someting in the mid $200Ks up to the very low $300ks

This is about 2 miles from my house in Falmouth:

Read the entire description and click through on the photos and you will get the idea. The oversized two car garage is a bit too small, but I may be able to add on to it....

Well done Erick. With another lift, you could add another car!

^ So you will have to bargain some to get that price down to anywhere near what you want to pay. But two acres is a lot. House is old but looks well maintained. What could you rent it for? Or something comparable?

I've tried to argue that now that the S2000 has a home in the shed, there is plenty of room for another toy, but so far I've been unsuccessful.

I have no problem offering $50K less. I think the house would rent out for $1800 to $2,000 per month so figure income of $20K per year from which I will pay the property taxes, repairs and maintenance. It won't be a big money maker, but it should cover itself expense wise, diversify my long term investments, and net me a nice workshop for free! In 20 years or so when i can't do the things I do now, I'll sell it and hopefully enjoy a nice gain. The key is to find a property that already has what you want. That's the tough part.

The other option is to sell the house in Canton and buy a smaller house to live in that has everything i want, or the land to build it on. But I'm not sure when we will be able to sell the Canton house. I can go either way on this.

With whom are you arguing?

Lisa. Since she paid for the shed, she has veto rights on any plans to repopulate the recently freed up space.

elmmx5....What is the height of your ceiling?
