...my wife and I repaired, repainted, re-bathroomed, re-decked, re-landscaped, and recarpeted a suburban home two years ago so that we could sell it pronto. Did that. We sorted, gave away, junked, donated and sold about 1/3 of our possessions.


Then my wife found a suitable house that is 8.75 miles from my work location. We met the sellers and accomplished a private sale in less than 60 days.


I now am a full time bike commuter, in my 3rd year. Gone is my daily 2.5 hours in the car routine.


Oh, and [MENTION=195860]Steely Dan[/MENTION], I would recommend property B. 8 miles is a warmup.


Best thing we've ever accomplished together.
