Holy smokes!... I make (wishful thinking) comments about retiring and just making furniture for the grandchildren... but what a fantasy this would be... and in the islands, no less. Hey Phil... thank you for the beautiful picture

 

[nelsone]

How much woodworking would you be wanting to do there? Have you submitted a serious inquiry yet?

 

[ashley_phil]

i haven't submitted an inquiry.

i've thought about moving to the islands a lot.

there was a guy advertising a plot daufskie (sp?) island in SC for a long time.

i don't know if he sold it or not.

my wife and i have talked about moving to the islands a lot.

Phil - remember, "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Sometimes when you get to the other side and look back you see that your grass was a lot greener than you thought it was.

Hey man, no mixing grass and woodworking!:confused_

 

[FredP]

where do I apply for the assistant position? :gar-La;

 

[CarvedTones]

I talked to a high tech recruiter a while back and he said thre were just about always openings for skilled people in PR and VI. Turnover is high because so many people think they will stay forever and start missing things after a year or two if not sooner. They are more hurricane prone than we are and there is no I-40 or US-64 leading to safety. Still, I like the dream also...

 

[sapwood]

Don't know about the grass, but the rum in PR and VI is outstanding ccasion1
I've visited both and certainly hope I can do so again, but not sure I want to live there :eusa_thin

Hey man, no mixing grass and woodworking!:confused_

Nice shop for sure but I think I'll stay right here on the high ground.
