OK Fellers a little update for you all. I left Friday morning, got down there just fine except for having a fuel line come off of the filter. No biggie a few minutes and back on the road. Got there Friday evening about 6:00. looked around the area a little bit that evening but didn't really find anything.

Saturday Morning, the owner met us at the hotel and from there we went to eat breakfast, looked at pictures and what not of what we would be doing. Then off to the shop to show us around and discuss the details. It all went better then expected and The job is mine.

At first I will be doing a lot of maintenance on equipment and the building, but will also be doing fab work, installation, and EVENTUALLY I will be taking on the Concrete for the footings of the columns for the rail systems.

To say the least I am excited to go, but at the same time a little nervous to move my family 800 miles, luckily @ of my friends also will be moving there around the same time so that should help quite a bit.

Now The shop is located in Pinehurst so I need to try to Find a place to live within about 30 minutes of the shop and a Small school district. lol is it gonna be possible?

Thanks all. The montgomery isd is what we are really wanting. But it is unbeleivably hard to find a place to live when your 800 miles away. I am in hopes to find something before I go down so I dont have to be with out my family while im trying to find a place.

You should call a realtor down there....they are very helpful.
