Some of you might have noticed I've been really really quiet around here (pretty uncommon for me). I've been stupid busy at work, in Argentina for some two weeks....and starting to plan for a move to Houston. Yep, all the cool kids are moving to Texas these days! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

To tell you guys the truth, I'm a little disappointed with the quantity of houses I've seen on har.com with 4 or more garage spaces. I've been concentrating on the west Spring, Cypress area since that appears to offer a good balance of high end schools/decent commute into downtown/big house for not too much $. We'll see though, I've only been outside of downtown Houston once and that was to Spring so I'm a little biased since I don't know anything else. Any advice here would be appreciated!

I cant imagine what those poor movers are going to think when they open up the garage and see things like LT1 engine blocks, a hydraulic press, band saw, etc sitting there waiting for them (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've already packed the things they wont move: long sticks of metal, chemicals, explosives, ammunition, the race car...normal stuff (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

hahaha Andy is my character witness based on the deal we made for a z28 for a trunkfull of guns. People here in Norcal are just freaked out when I tell them about that one.

I've heard stories that the woodlands is at least 1:15 away from downtown during commute hours with shared transport, worse alone. That sounds like a lot to me.

Not the Woodlands, where every tree is sacred, _Kingwood_. The Woodlands are off I45 (North Freeway) (like Spring). Kingwood is north of Houston off of I59 (Eastex freeway). Oh, and by the way, EVERY road in Texas has at least two names. That is especially true in Houston, where they will change names as you cross roads. Each time the name changes, it will again, have a (many times) DIFFERENT two names. Lots-O-fun when giving out directions.

And yes, the Woodlands are at least an hour from town, sometimes two, if someone does something stupid on their morning commute, like run into someone else.
