Va. is beautiful. My wife has relatives there. Lots of windy roads there and dense vegetation!
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys!

The property is in great condition and is move-in ready. It was built in 1986. The previous owners didn't know that they would be transfered by their jobs and had invested $50,000 into it over the last three years: new garage door, granite counter tops in the kitchen, new tile in kitchen and master bath, new tileing in separate glass shower, new roof, new paint, and new windows throughout (all 29 of them!). All we're having done is the wood floors on the first floor resanded and finished before we move in on July 19th.

And yes, I've already been looking at lawn mowers. I'm planning to get a Craftsman self-propelled mower that can also mulch. My brother has one and after 12 years it still runs like new. I'll be putting synthetic oil into it from day one. I'll also be looking at electric clippers and all that stuff. At least now I know what I'll be doing every weekend for the summer!
