Well the wife and I have been looking to get out of Colorado Springs and onto land with water.    We were first looking at Montana, but it seems like that was a popular place as of late so the cost was above what we were willing to do.  

 

As we expanded our search east we found a place in northern MN, about 20 miles from where I grew up, for sale on the bank of the Rainy River.   

 

Our current house is going on the market today and May 1 is the move in date for MN.  

 

For just a few bucks more than we are selling here, 1130 sq ft 1/16 acre in the middle of town, we got onto 80 acres on the river.  Thankfully my job follows me so I dont have to worry about that.

 

My wife's plans are to open up a small air b and b type thing geared towards families with childern with special needs.  We are thinking 3ish cabins, a dock.  A couple horses and a barn with a hobby farm thing going on.  

 

Strange but true I've doing similar here. Mom used to use the dishwasher as a dish drying rack. The motor finally burned up last Nov. 2020. Ordered a new dishwasher and took 3 months to get it. Now I've got the new dishwasher installed. Now we are talking about new stove and oven and change the kitchen layout a bit and move things around and ditch a island stove and move it back to the wall.

 

I got to admit you got a nice look cabin, and your wife is a happy camper.
