Finally..... a Place I can actually call Home ........

[innercent]

Finally, I have purchased my own home, settlement in 60 days..... so in 60 days, I will definitely have a place of my own.
No more asking in-law to borrow garage space to do some minor work on my bike, or store my bike related items...... I will finallyl have my own garage to do some REAL work on the bike !!! woohoo !!!

It's sooo nice to have a garage!!  When we were house shopping, Mrs. Red was always most interested in the kitchen layout, I was always concerned about the garage.  Our first house had a 2-car, but that was too small, so subsequent homes have had bigger ones - and still cars end up parked outside.

So true about the Kitchen ... the Mrs already complain about the Kitchen is too small when I decided that is the house (eh .... yes, the mrs actually didn't see the house until after I put in an offer.... and btw, its the Mrs is the one who said "If you like it, just put in an offer. I don't have the time go see it, but if you like it, just offer it")

But then, I think Kitchen is third object compare to the rest of the house......comfort comes first... and Garage comes second :P waahahahaa

I'm lucky, "The Treasurer" rides as well, so she understands the value of having a good garage, probably better than me if the truth be told.

We to have just taken the huge step  too.
But it kinda backwards for us, with all the shed stuff now in the new garage, Iv'e kinda run out of room for the bikes.
But one day when we are both a lot older and a hellva lot greyer we might be able to say we own it, for now we are just renting from the bank.

But have I said "the Views are awesome". and the 4 roads out of town, yes there is only 4 ways in and out, are the ducks nuts to a motorcyclist.

Yes roll on summer, thats if we can afford the petrol that is

you guys are all so lucky!  we took the house plunge this year and have no garage right now.  But the house is nice (as is the kitchen actually) and it's in a good neighborhood and close to a good school. (how priorities change)
However plans are to build a garage within two years...for now the other half has decided to 'tarp' in the deck for the bikes in winter it will look; questionable and the neighbors will complain but the bikes will be dry. 
Just think of us garage less folk while you pull your bikes in and work in the warm and dry.

Just one draw back about purchasing home....... After 30 years of repayment... I will be paying 2.5 times worht of the house.... *sigh* DOH ... B6Mick was right, we are "RENTING" from the bank now........ time to go on diet ..........

30 years, only if you don't 're-draw' or re-finance
