After looking into moving to Colorado, Montana, Nashville and a couple others...We have now settled in Oklahoma. My friend has lived here for 15 years and told us to come out and take a look. You have to deal with some things just like anywhere else. Lots of bugs, stickers, some pretty hefty winds and rains/storms. But WAY cheaper than CA in MANY ways. My truck registration was HUNDREDS of dollars, here $26. NO smog checks here. CA is every other year. Gas prices much cheaper here. Speed limit when towing is the same as the posted sign. So if it's 75mph, you can tow at that speed. Not that it's smart. CA is 55mph if you are towing. One REALLY big thing is virtually NO traffic. I sat in traffic in CA for 500 hours in the 60 years I lived there. So I don't miss that. Lower taxes all the way around. And it's an open carry State. So I just passed the background check from the FBI and got a license to carry a firearm in 36 States. My mom passed in '04 and my Dad in 2016. So family not holding me in CA. I lived in a 200 sq ft trailer for 6 years helping take care of my Dad. That was rough. We will see how it goes here, and if we decide we want a change we can always roll on out to another State. But for now, this is home.
As far as outlets, I HATE not having power where I need it. So now glass beader, grinder, wire wheel, parts cleaner, drill press, welder, buffer, vacuum, etc. etc. No matter where it is placed in the shop, there will be power. Most all things come with a 60" cord. D
