Not sure what is the story in your neck of the woods but I recently moved a 1600 sq. ft. house from Myrtle Beach to storage units in Cleveland for $5K including packing and all. North American was the carrier and the service was perfect. Mine was 3/4 of a truck (I have, amazingly, cleaned out most of the accumulated stuff) and I did have to work with their schedule for delivery (which worked out just right for me). Of course, YMMV .

I find indoor ranges more comfortable and convenient and of course, more "year 'round'"

Thanks to everyone! It's looking as if the only rentals we can find that meet our needs are in the eastern Chattanooga area. Likely I'll check the one on Hixon Pike and the one on Battlefield Pkwy.

I'm surprised that there aren't more indoor ranges around Cleveland and Chattanooga. I was thinking there would be mucho handgun shooters in southeast Tennessee and all would want a place to shoot. Silly me, I guess. Anyone know of indoor ranges around Chattanooga? The way the rental market is going, we may end up there for a while.

I'm thinking that may be farther than I care to drive, but you never know. We'll be building in Old Fort once we can afford building materials, likely a year or so. Right now we're looking for a house to rent in the Cleveland or maybe Chattanooga so we can sell here and take advantage of the amazing sale prices. Thanks again.

Thanks. That's the one I found from a Google search. Looks nice from the photos. Pretty sure I'll be a regular there.

When we move from the Atlanta area to around Cleveland or the eastern side of Chattanooga, Ooltewah-ish, I'll be looking for an indoor range for some weekly handgun shooting practice. Are there any that anyone can recommend? My Google search turned up a whopping total of one (!) in the Cleveland area. Please tell me that I've just missed some great ranges .

Finally -- after mucho searching -- we're buying some land in Old Fort near Cleveland. We intend to build a house there but(!) with the stunning cost of building materials that will be a while. So, we'll need to store some furniture and the like. Has anyone had any experience with climate controlled storage units in the Cleveland area? Most importantly, are there any that we should for sure stay away from? Of course, we'll visit likely candidates to put eyes on, but I'm hoping we can eliminate potential problems up front. Thanks.

Beautiful 22s. I shot a 40x on a rifle team and loved it. It just did everything right. I know you're enjoying these lovelies.

100% agree...with the combination of elapsed time and certain number of posts.

Some good information in your post. Thanks.

Exactly what we found once we starting actually looking. Even the few properties that were 5 acres or more were smack dab in the middle of that mess... not to mention the price per acre being a joke.

A definite consideration, as noted by someone earlier too. On another note, we were thinking to look around Ooltewah in our property (back in the '70s, that was mostly rural area) but quickly found that everyone is moving there and it seems like, as someone said, "the Marietta of Chattanooga" (with Marietta being now just a suburb of Atlanta).

Thanks runco. Still a toss up in many respects, and still some great info here.

One of the reasons we started questioning having only a well.

Just one reason even city water will need filtering.

Thanks Reefer. Good suggestions.

Hozzie, good points here, and even more to consider. Our "city" water right now is still filtered and certainly will be where we move to. And no, we aren't going to reject having a well just because it's a well. Right now we're just exploring the pros and cons (and getting some great input). Thanks.

Thanks Gary. City water is our strong preference, but some interesting places have only wells. I'm still a city water guy, but it's worth investigating wells just in case.

I remember carrying pails of water from the spring house at my great aunt's. Good memories, most of it, but not wanting to repeat them . Thanks for the welcome, some nice folks here, just as expected.

Thanks Hozzie! That's good information and suggestions.

As we are searching for property (see my thread: Looking to move to SE TN) the question of using well water has come up. Although some have city or public water available, several possible properties have only water wells. We have no "modern" experience with well water for our home (as a kid, many, many moons ago I did). Anyone with experience with wells to share, the good, the bad, and maybe the ugly?

Thanks. So far, we've found 3 possibilities but eyes on is the trick.

Nomad is interesting and I can see that they will do pretty well for an under served group, a growing group I'm guessing. The monthly charge is rather high, but if you can't get it and need it, the price may be worth it. Sadly, for us, 150 Mbps download just won't work. Our experience has shown that we need 400 Mbps minimum. Thanks again for the information.

Thanks Mamba. I'll look into them.
