Friday I drive to Kentucky, pick up a restored and mostly assembled 1955 180D and drag it to the new enclave. Once I recover from the 14 hour trip, I'll work on the kitchen and start setting things up for the first phase of the building in the enclave. Then I can move the rest of the cars in there and start to thin the herd.
4 kids, 3 schools. My youngest is on his last year of preschool so he's only gone 1/2 day but it's a nice break for the wife. My food bill will enjoy the respite, too. It was 35-40% more/week over the summer.

The kids back at school = relaxed and happy Mrs. = happier me!

Have fun at the enclave! You must be excited to start personalizing it. I hope someday to stop living vicariously through others and have an enclave of my own.
