We have that same problem. Between wife and I we have four houses. The problem is the several hundred miles between them.
My heart is in the farm house which needs quite a bit of remodeling. With the children grown and just two of us, this is a bit ridiculous.
My father was a builder at heart but farmed for a living all his life. He built the best homes that were built locally for many many years. He built some large commercial buildings too.
I spent 40 years in the wholesale hardware distribution industry, with 2 privately held companies. Wore many hats.
For a 5 years span of that I planned and supervised the execution of expansions, remodels and new stores for them in an 11 state area. From a thousand sq. feet to 100,000 sq. feet buildings.
I grew up in the construction business and our farming operation (some of Dad’s land has been in the family over 130 years). I’m capable of completing remodels but for the past 10 years I have largely cared for sick and/or elederly family members. Long string.
I look forward to simplifying our life.
