I've also noticed that everyone is crown molding crazy.......it's a bit too ornate for my taste.......I tend to like simple lines.N8 said:I see that the builder didn't run any crown moulding. I've been wanting to to do that here but I'm afraid it's become 'expected' by the buyers...
I agree.... however, since I have to do it, I try to do it right.Andyman_1970 said:I've also noticed that everyone is crown molding crazy.......it's a bit too ornate for my taste.......I tend to like simple lines.

You know you love mountain biking when "the riding" is currently my only solice knowing what I am doing and need to get done in the next month.Jeremy R said:You made a good choice considering what you were looking for.
Plus, you will be close to alot of really good riding.
I know you have ridden alot around here, so once you get settled in, you need to check out Paris Mountain in Greenville, SC.
You will be surprised at how fun it is.
Good luck.
Wow thats great man!Mtb_Rob_FL said:Good question. I did a lot of seat of the pants research.
-I love to ride mountain bikes
-I do not like really cold weather
-I wanted to remain relatively close to my folks who live in South Florida.
-I need a decent job market, if the auto industry is present even better (thats my experience).
-a good social life with other young professionals is important to me. I am 32, single, and as much fun as sleeping with 19-22 y/o college students can be, it gets old. (not that old, but more tiring)
- a good value in the housing market - The SFL housing market is STOOPID. I bought my house in 2001 for 138, and now its valued at close to 400k. Do the math, it is hard to ignore that when you are 30something.
I kinda narrowed my search to a few areas
Atlanta, GA
Columbia, SC
Charlotte, NC
Greenville, NC
Winston-Salem, NC
Raleigh, NC
Knoxville, TN
Then a good friend of mine moved from Tampa to Charlotte, he had some really good friends there as well(that he is currently living with). They moved from Tampa about 2 years ago. He sent me a link to Sonic Automotive's website, saying they were based in Charlotte. I made 1 phone call, got a hold of the Director of Recruiting and well it all just kind of happened from there.
I just kinda told everyone here at work, and they are in a little bit of shock. I showed them my house and now they are all on Realtor.com finding out what they can buy if they sell their houses down here.
I cant wait to get up there.
