[AccessD] Move update

Congrats JC...


Let me know when...I'll buy the first round...Looks like I'm only 1.5 hours 
E NE.  I live in Greensboro.

My girlfriend and I might actually be going to Hickory in a couple of weeks. 
  If you're available maybe we can grab lunch or something.

>We managed to find an awesome house - 3300 heated square feet, 1700 
>unheated
>(basement), 4 bedroom, 4 & 1/2 bathroom, with an office above the new 
>master
>bedroom, and a rec room in the basement, on 1 acre, for $260K. It's a ranch
>built in 1990 with a huge master bed/bath/office extension added in 2000.
>The house is really beautiful, built by a builder for his daughter and so
>has all top quality materials and workmanship. It sits all by itself on a
>one lane road, about 1000 feet off of the "main road" (which isn't all that
>busy either), so there is no traffic to speak of on our "driveway". Woods
>and fields on either side of the house, though there is a very nice (well
>kept) subdivision across the "road" (driveway) from us, we look at their
>back yards out across our front yard.  There are about 10 tiny springs that
>run water down the back of my property creating a small creek, so my 5 year
>old son Robbie is down there every day building dams and looking for
>salamanders and crawdads.
>
>We are kind of "out in the country", with a couple of small towns within 
>two
>miles. There is a small convenience store / gas station (which sells gas 
>for
>$2.87 / gallon at the moment) just about a quarter mile up the main road.
>Two supermarkets and a CVS pharmacy about 2 miles away, and a huge Lowes
>hardware about 4 miles away. North about 8 miles is Lenoir which has all 
>the
>typical shopping. South about 13 miles is Hickory with even more shopping.
>60 miles south is Charlotte, with the closest major airport.  We really 
>like
>being outside of town so this is a perfect match for us.

>We arrived Saturday morning (July 22nd), the truck with all out possessions
>arrived Monday, and we almost killed ourselves getting it unloaded (with a
>lot of volunteer help - they refused payment!). My office is a mess but I 
>am
>slowly digging out. Lots to do still. We got a refrigerator last Tuesday,
>and had a sectional delivered Wed. We sold a lot of our furniture since
>Hickory is known as the furniture capital of the US and furniture is really
>cheap down here.  So we then purchased a beautiful 60" round solid oak
>dining table with 6 chairs for an incredible price!
>
>I got internet on July 25th - cable - 3 mbit down, 256k up. Not as fast as 
>I
>am accustomed to but serviceable. I have tested remote access to my client
>DIS and it works.

>So basically, the move is done.  I am still running around getting business
>done - drivers license, register car, getting business checking, DBA
>paperwork etc. but we are now home in Hudson.
