[quote=ocrenter]Navydoc, you should build a pool just like the model home. You can man the BBQ in the middle, with all the kiddies swimming around you. 🙂
Another good thing about the far flung location you picked. Turns out there are 8 Asian markets within 15-20 minutes drive for you wife to pick from, ranging from northeast Asian down to Southeast Asian. Hopefully that’s an improvement in comparison to MD.[/quote]
Actually I have something a little different planned, and it will include a casita/pool house with a flat roof with observation deck overlooking the canyon. I have a nice telescope, and observation in Maryland sucks, between trees, clouds and light pollution. the far flung area makes for awesome starry nights. I will have the sunken BBQ with in-pool barstools though.
And yes, we are well aware of the Asian markets. Don’t forget, my sister in law lives in PQ, which is another reason we like far flung, remote, lizardy locations. You might be surprised though about the quality of the Asian markets in our current area. Most are quite good, with our favorite being a Korean chain called H-Mart. Interestingly enough, the restaurants (for Thai and Vietnamese at least) have left something to be desired. We have yet to find a good bowl of Pho in MD, unless my wife makes it herself.
