BUT, nowhere to work. And I can't land a gig doing remote stuff, so I'll keep the palace going in Pleasant Ridge.

Yeah, this is where I luck out, being remote is no big deal for my company, so many people are around the world anyway. I might have to come to California 3 days a year after I leave.

Ideal situation. I'd do exactly what you're doing if I could.

I just had someone email me saying they can't wait to get back in the office because it's so hard to get thing done from home.

I'm busy as hell and my throughput is insane...no different from the office.

For me, in my job I get easily 20% more done in a day from home than when I am in the office, more on some days.

I get to work through my commute, putting in more hours w/o feeling it.

People are really reluctant to pick up a phone and call someone, but they just LOVE to wander by your work area and blow 20 minutes of your time talking about the latest gossip.
In the last 6 months I've really been able to use the time to dig deeper into ASIL and ISO 26262, which has been good for what I do for work. I wouldn't have had the time otherwise.

Didn't know this was a thing with you. Got house plans you can share?

I haven't done the OHV thing in forever, mostly due to lack of convenience.

I will pull the plans for the base house together and post them. Nothing too crazy. 4k square feet, 3 car garage + RV garage.

Ugh... Plans may be changing.

Wife loves Hurricane, but expressed that she wanted to be a bit closer to her mom since she will be driving to see her often. From Hurricane to her mom is 3.5 hours each way. She wants to reconsider the Vegas area which puts us about 1 hour 20 minutes away from her mom.

Looking in the Vegas area for something competitive today.

A couple good things about this change would be that Vegas has much more infrastructure for medical needs, and they have more stores than Hurricane/St. George has for shopping.

That’s not the worst change of plans.

Interesting to see how the Vegas market looks comparatively.

Quick glance says everything comparable on paper (not nitty gritty details) that started out around $500k in Hurricane is starting about $600k in Vegas.

This was a quick find, looking for something with an RV garage to be a shop:

They have another with a detached RV garage too:

http://vps1.alpha-vision.com/app/v4.7/a ... 11dw1t1o0z

These are on 1/2 acre lots which is fine in the Vegas area. Just need room for a pool, a place for the dog to go to the bathroom and my grills. We went through all this over the last year, so I really don't care where it is anymore as long as I have enough garage space with headroom for a lift, and fast internet.

is a "Planning Center"? Fancy closet?

Half acre should be plenty IMO. Too much land that isn't just natural can be a PITA that you don't want to take care of.

Oh hell yeah, get that one for the flex space.

5/7 would flex space over planning center.

But to me, the biggest difference is the 2nd master on the first floor of the first one. If this is to be a "forever" house, that first floor master could end up being super valuable when you don't want to deal with stairs anymore. "Bedroom 5" on the 2nd one probably wouldn't cut it for a full-time master IMO.

Where does Mom live? What happened to Reno? I understand this isn't my life, but Reno is much more to me than Las Vegas.
