I've always loved that statement "Live Free or Die". Good for New Hampshire!! I would've done well in New Hampshire! Like you, I made 2 requirements. 1) No HOA's. and 2) No "heat" pumps!! I know it gets colder in NH, but it CAN get a bit chilly here in Western NC. I won't have cold air coming out of my registers! LOL! And that, of course, is a story for a different thread! Jerry > .
