Who lives near Troy, MI?

Yet to receive an offer, it is in the works. The guy who interviewed me told me before I even left home here in WI that I "will be hired". His words. Rat race, where I was at it in the Tory area, does seem very urban, nowhere near like where I live. All I have to do is drive a few miles to see farmland like corn, soybeans, cabbage, pumpkins, hay.....stuff like that. So, I'm working on getting my house ready to go. Either rent it or sell it, not sure yet. It needs some maintenance, not a lot, but some. I felt I had to let some minor things slide until I got working again, more cosmetic than anything else. I needed what cash I had to pay bills. When I moved in here, the deck was in poor shape, no kidding. Practically rebuilt the whole thing, had to replace posts, ledger board, railings, install a couple of posts, not to mention the decking itself. Thank God for neighbors! I'm sure I won't have a problem getting to know the neighbors, except I do tend to talk to much.
Looking at houses over there in the area, Not afraid of sweat equity. Kinda like doing that kind of work. Can get some decent deals if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, and I'm not afraid to. Will be a little less money than what I was, making, About a buck an hour less, I can live with that. But thanks to all who commented, much appreciated!
