Jesse,
Congrats on your 1st house purchase!!!...You picked an excellent market to do your shoppin'....this reminds me....gotta get mine refi soon!!!....

I love that you have alright begun planning the garage before you're even in there!!!

hopefully the wifey understands the garage thing and your space vs her space....I personally only have a 2 car garage, well one car and my truck!!!

I hope to one day find that piece of property to build a great garage...and of course a nice house too....
Good luck on your continued job search, studying for that PE and getting ready for the move....Let me know if I can help....
OH and be sure to carry your wife across the threshold right after you get the keys at closing!!!
