Update on modular home in Tennessee

Our new home, being built by ModularOne at their plant in Pulaski, TN,  is scheduled to be delivered to our lot at Sewanee Creek near Tracy City, TN over the Labor Day weekend!  This assumes that there will be no unforeseen delays, weatherwise or otherwise.  We are excited and plan to be on site from September 1 - 6, returning on Labor Day.  The house will be relatively small, at 1,560 square feet indoor space, but with a big porch in the front.  We settled for a good-sized carport and attached storage building instead of a basement, largely due to cost, but also partly due to the topography of our rather shallow lot.  As to when we will occupy our Tennessee home, that depends to a great extent on when we are able to sell our current home.  Retirement and moving to Tennessee is not an option until our home in Houma, LA is sold.  "Until then," as Judy posted at the Friends of Sewanee Creek website, "our little house will sit, lonely and unoccupied up on the hill."  


To get a sense of where we will be located in Tennessee, click on the map above and look for the little square box to the right of Tracy City.  Even though our post office address will officially be Tracy City, we won't even be living in the same county.  Tracy City is in Grundy County, while we are in Marion County.  Sewanee Creek is the separation between the two counties near where we live.  More than that, being on the Marion County side of Sewanee Creek puts us in a different ward, stake, mission, and temple district than church members that live on the Tracy City side of the Creek.  We will live further east than do Matt & Julie in Plymouth, IN, but we will be just inside the Central Time Zone, while they are just inside the Eastern Time Zone.

More trivia:  Which state is the only state in the U.S. that has a,a,a,a as the only vowels in its name; which is the only state that has e,e,e,e as its vowels; and which is the only state that has i,i,i,i?  Hint: We will be traveling in all of them over the Labor Day weekend.
