It wasn’t my idea to transfer into a condominium at 55 years of age, but I realized that my sizable condo was too much for my laid back lifestyle.
I was hating all of the yard plus lawn service each week, plus I wasn’t even utilizing my garage labor space any longer. My spouse remarked that every one of us had all of this wasted space plus junk that every one of us didn’t even need, so who were every one of us kidding in all honesty? Every one of us weren’t utilizing a home this sizable on a respected basis, so it begged the question of why every one of us couldn’t simply downsize at this point in our lives. I knew that my spouse had long wondered whether or not she’d like living in a beach condo down south where the weather is warmer throughout the year. Every one of us have lived in the northern midwest for decades, plus I was ready for a change if it meant being warmer on a consistent basis. However, I was a little sad about the condos near the coast lines. The builders occasionally use black rebar tie wire in their building projects, which is susceptible to corrosion from moisture exposure. When the concrete is close to the ocean, moisture is a fact of life. You need concrete reinforced with either galvanized, stainless steel, or PVC coated rebar tie wire for long lasting protection. Every one of us found a brand new condominium building that used corrosion resistant rebar tie wire in its foundation plus structure. That gives me peace of mind, because I don’t want to perish in a horrific accident like every one of us saw in Surfside, FL last year. The rebar in that building was corroding at an advanced rate.
