My old Kentucky Home, finally get to unpack for good!
- Thread starter Hi-FiGuy
- Start date
It's been a long road all yall but we finally get to unpack for good!
The second post is the walkout basement which is my new playground. The wife gets the first two floors and the basement is mine to do with what I want.
There will be a bathroom added, a bar to all be blended together with a 2 channel room and a theater room.
Between the basement, the garage and 1.3 acres of yard I am most joyously content!
These pictures are the listing pics so not our stuff yet.
Some day I may write and share the novel that led up to this, and trust me when I say you cant make this stuff up, but there is much to do for awhile.

welcome home and congratulations. It has indeed been a tough few years.I can just see that grin on your face now
That backyard is so big that in California they could build an entire subdivision with it

Thanks guys! I am sitting at the storage unit right now waiting for the truck to show up getting ready to order my yard tractor.
My equipment has been in storage almost two years now, I cant wait to start setting up and figure out which walls I am going to have to move and so on.
There is a relatively large unfinished area in the basement so i am looking at a blank slate. Also have to deal with the TBar ceiling.
That backyard opens into endless miles of woods and farm land.
So yeah, whos grinnin. This guy!

Congratulations!
This move is going to be the last journey for my vinyl and have considered not bringing it. I have approximately 4500 lbs of vinyl.
I have been bitten by the digital bug.
Once I get set up and sitting in the chair we will see if the vinyl stays or to what capacity.
Since 2007 they have changed locations 12 times by my own accord, so i owe them one final listening opportunity.
Congrats!! Also moved from just 60 miles west of Phoenix (same weather) to central Oklahoma and lucked into a larger living room to put gear into. If like me, you'll enjoy seasons. Also the yard tractor is a must - we ended up with 10 acres of lawn so a day a week is yard day - but we enjoy it and you will too.
We do enjoy the seasons and yard work is my decompression and thats good because I am yard obsessed. I miss my Cadet. Nother one on the way.
We have already lived in KY and love it but we also left two of our kids there and two grandchildren,sooooo.....the math adds up to.....the obvious.
Now i can sit out on the porch in a rocking chair and yell at kids "Get off my lawn"
We came close to a 5 acre property with a couple barns but it needed too much work.
As someone who has moved vinyl across the globe more than once, I gotta say that it's worth it.
In your case, with that gorgeous home and plenty of space, I wouldn't hesitate, bring them in, spend a couple of days (weeks?) organizing them. I'm sure it'll be very fun and rewarding
cheers,
Alex

It is what terrifies me with vinyl moving - organizing and taking care of them can take a very long time. I decided to reduce my vinyl collection by a factor of at less two in my next when move - I will keep the jazz, most chamber music and records to which I am emotionally attached or can't be located in digital, the ones with beautiful covers and, surely, the audiophile stuff

I’ve always dreamed of having a lot large enough for a John Deere. Around here the lots are so small we cut the grass with scissors

Part of this plan does include a vintage tractor of some sort for entertainment purposes.
A friend out there has one with a big hay wagon. He sets a couple well stocked coolers in the middle and puts hay bales around them and we climb on board and we hit the road and go "into town" and shoot the shit with the town folk. Its a blast. He is a little further out there than we are so its not a issue being on the road.

This is a none issue for me, they are meticulous packed and labled in the exact order they came off the shelf. Unfortunately done this once or ten times.
