Fall Branch TN is now officially where I will live out my days
Gonna be up to my eyeballs in debt by the time the house is built, so I guess I am here for the long run. You only live once right? Will be able to shoot off my porch, have cattle and other livestock, the shop of my dreams, and be far enough from any city to avoid the crap. Plus a view of Chimneytop mountain off the back porch.

It looks nice. When the house is finished I'd be thrilled to come up from Florida and shoot a few guns on your porch. Your neighbors look far enough away that I won't bother bringing the suppressors!

Congratulations, buying land and moving to the country was one of the best things I ever did.

Not too far from me and 84. Out in the country but close enough for some great doctors in JC and Kingsport. Hunting, fishing, bass pro, and Dollywood not too far off either. How far are you from interstate 81 or are you close to Jonesboro hwy 81?

Like God’s country. Just a couple hours southwest of me.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Amigo.
I am just down the road in Marshall NC. Nothing but a bunch of hillbillies around here.

Thank y'all for the positive comments. It's hard taking large leaps of faith like this but you only live once so you gotta go for it.

You do realize that you are now obligated to provide photo updates through the rest of the project so that those of us that know what we're doing can provide a running critique, don't you?
Looks like a pretty spot, Cling. Congrats!

Well I bought my wife a Nikon Digital SLR camera for Christmas, since she is the main picture taker and always complains how the cell phone cameras just don't capture the 3 dimensional views. So I am sure I will have plenty of pics along the way. The last house I built (which was supposed to be my last home), she took hundreds of pics.

Please keep us updated as your new home progresses.

This was last year when I just started the driveway, before the shed.

This was our last place in Iowa, which was supposed to be our retirement home, after 12 years had it set up perfectly, but then I made the mistake of visiting NE Tennessee and Iowa soon was in my rear view mirror.

+1 and the more folks who move in, the less likely you will have to date your own sister.........unless you just want to

Yep.
Many of my kin folks drifted west. I can almost spit across the east Tn state line.
Several moved to the Elizabethton area to work in Bemberg and NARC plants.
Dad would ride Tweetsie train to Elizabethton.

So, you live in the Flatland area of TN? 🤔
Come on over to where Butchdog2 and I live. For the real "Mountain Country" experience. That Song "Copperhead Road," is for a road fairly close to me (7mi.?) Lots of relatives on it. Grew up cutting tobacco and putting up hay all around there. (Had Thanksgiving dinner there.) With all the Kinfolk.
Just kidding you Brother. Looks great. We'll have to meet up at some point. Welcome Brother, even if you are from Iowa. 😂
We need to see if we can all get together for a "retired" appliance shoot in hillbille's yard one of these days. No the Crapper in the yard does not work. It's a flowerpot. 😉

Cling2myguns - you apparently wrecked a perfectly good Hayfield with that gravel driveway. 😭
What? Are you from Iowa or something? Oh, Nevermind.......................................................Sorry, My Bad.

I actually look forward to appliances being "retired" Make for fun targets and ultimately are deconstructed via Tannerite.
Right now there is already a toaster oven up there with fresh 7.62 caliber holes in it!

It actually was painful for me to cut that drive right through the hay field, but it was cheaper than excavating a new driveway on the steeper part of the land.

We have an old washing machine on a hillside 505 yards from the backyard. It is more holes than metal now and is about due for replacement. I swear there has been more money in ammo fired at it than what it cost new in 1977.
Back in the '80s, at another farm we had a '53 Pontiac sitting down along a creek and it, too, was the basis for many ammo tests. This is where I discovered that someone hiding behind a car while being fired at with a 30/06 or 7.62 was apt to be in trouble.
Tennessee looks like a good state for gun owners to live in. I think that is where Hickock45 and 22Plinkster are located.
