Absolutely, whole family does if facilities are available. Of course the teen boys will hit slag weights for a couple of hours if left on their own. Then we eat whatever and the adults can get honkin sloshed wo guilt and look good while doing so. Work hard play hard....

In my late 40's I built a detached garage on my place. 1,200 sq foot metal building, 15 ft in the center for a lift, insulated. Always liked to work on cars, build things, wanted a space better than a 2-car garage. Of course, not just for working on things. Stereo and big screen for Tiger sports...

Sister and fam has lived there for the past 25 years. The schools are good. Both boys became engineers through NC State. Both were able to get good paying jobs in the Raleigh area right out of school. - There are a couple of lakes close by (Lake Jordan) where you can enjoy watersports, fishing. ...

[quote]I was the son he never had[/quote]Great story. My ex-FIL and I got along great. When my ex and I would visit him, he and I would gather around the kitchen table in our tshirts, sip bourbon, play cards and listen to old country music for half the night. He left me all his tools / toolboxes...

Doesn't sound like you will miss work. I won't either. I'm about to retire next month myself so I'm fixing to find out. Like you I'm not the most engaging person at work. I'm not a cube/office hanger. When we were in the office, few people stopped by just to talk. I did have the good fortun...

One the fam all remembers well was in Belize: Zip line across the mountaintops ending down into a cave, canoeing a river that goes underground, then burritos in a native camp (where I discovered Marie Sharp's hot sauce). A great day. ...
