We are Dave and Karen and have retired. We decided to sell our home in Georgia in 2017 to live full time in an RV to travel across America to see the beauty of our country and meet awesome people along the way.

You were not homeless, you were houseless! 🤩
Ahhh yes, you are correct.
I will miss all your adventures!!!
You should absolutely use premium vinyl plank flooring throughout. So durable and pretty and you don’t have to worry about ever replacing it in your lifetime as long as you pick the right color.
We've been out looking at LVP flooring and boy it's a hard choice. You're right, you better like it, cuz it's a lot to look at. We finally chose a stain for our cabinets today.
What did you choose?
As a home designer, research everything about handicap accessible. For instance, place light switches at doorknob height. Bathroom floors all drain to the back of shower wall, without any step-ups. Good luck in your forever home. Also master vanity sink without the typical bowl sink. So if ever one day ,a person in a wheelchair can slide right under allowing close access to the faucet.
Thanks so much for that. Really appreciate those ideas.
As the saying goes, what's for you is for you, and those 4 acres were destined to be yours. May God bless you with good health and success in your ventures, Karen and Dave. 👍🏾🙏🏾❤
Yes, we believe in fate. Looking forward to what's ahead.
Congrats!!! Please get Dave's beer contract on the new house construction secured ahead of time! Lol
Davey & Sheila
That's so funny. Already working on it. LOL
I totally agree! So happy for y'all!
I love it. I own a 2000sq. foot home on a little over an acre in Harleyville SC. Beautiful small town. Bought it in 2001. Four kids are grown and have grand kids now. In my sixties now and just love my little town. And of course no HOA. Great people in my town. Enjoy your remaining years. I certainly am. God bless.
That is so awesome. So glad you found your little piece of heaven.
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well with your new home build. I'll continue to watch whether you travel or not. I'm sure everyone else will too.
Thanks so much. We were kinda afraid some people may stop watching. You give us a warm and fuzzy feeling. :)
Dude is adorable. I hope everything goes great for your new home. You know there are always things that come up but you figure it out. I built my "last " home about a decade ago but I probably will be moving one more time. Stay safe and healthy.
Just when you think you got it all figures out, something else comes along and changes are made. But it's all for the good.
I love this new chapter for y'all! How exciting!! Can't wait to see the progress. ❤
Thanks so much. It's going to be exciting.
Congratulations. Don't forget get to add a doggie bath. Either a small separate room area or garage but make sure he can get up in the tub by himself and you can give him a bath and cut . As we get older it's hard to been down to bath our furr babies. Happy building and decorating. Dave is a handy man to have around. Keep a bunch of cases of beer around to keep him happy. Enjoy . I can't wait for all the update video's! Be safe,happy, not very frustrated, and lots of patience.
Thanks so much. Good idea. We have added a wand in the shower to wash Dude while we take a shower with him. Dave will probably build something for him to stand on.
Congratulations! Look forward to seeing the house progress as well. Have fun with it all guys!!
Thank you! Will do!
We are building our last home also. We wanted something that would benefit us now and later so first we down sized so the pole barn on our property is now our home. We went with white wash bead board 2” in kitchen that runs into western cedar. Trying to get farm house country look with country western look. It’s starting to come together and looks amazing. I’m doing it myself but my advice to you is this being the last one don’t be afraid to do or try something new or different. Build it the way you want it not the way someone else wants it. Have fun with it.
We like that...farmhouse/country western. I'd love to see pictures of that. If you don't mind, send me some pics to 2wattsonwheels@gmail.com
@@WattsOnWheels I’ll get some pictures today just remember you will see things and think someone is living there cause we are. We’ve been asked a few times are y’all living in there. I’ve been working on it since January 3. All the kids are gone so we down sized and it’s 24x32 inside of a pole barn 24x40 with a 12x30 addition on the side for laundry room and Den. I’m making it simple and when the day comes and we need a wheelchair we have some room to move oh and ramps will be on all porches.
That sounds perfect. We bought 8+ acres, build a small home and have rv under metal buildings. We in SC in upstate near Ga line.
That's awesome. Would love to have more acres, but this will do. Maybe we'll ride our bikes your way one day. :)
Good luck on your new adventure. Look forward to seeing what happens.
Thank you!
Love this! Everyone has asked why we don’t sell our home as we are on the road 6-7 months a year. We like having a home base. You never know what life is going to throw your way!🎉
It definitely gives you a sense of security.
My inlaws added a line to the ceptic tank as a dump station next to their 40 x 40 out building/garage. So when they got home or were ready to leave on a trip, they would have clean tanks. They also had a water spigot and 50 amp power near by too. Something to think about. Beautiful home plan, you'll love it. Safe Travels.
In our county they said we'd have to put in a separate septic field for the RV garage, so we wanted to, but declined. But we will have power and water inside and outside.
I'm looking forward to Dave's shop builds. This is going to be fun.
Yep, I'm sure Karen will keep me busy.
Congratulations, We are in the process of searching for a new home but its been a very hard road.. Almost everything, everywhere is HOA with no RV allowed. We have found a few homes that will allow us to bring our rig but the house floor plans are horrible. Hopefully we will find something soon as we are around your age and need to lay our feet on our own private ground.. We wish you all the luck in the world with your build.. And thanks for sharing. Herbie, Mary, & Peanut.
Hi guys. Know exactly what you mean. It's so hard to find a place that will accept RVs. Finding something without an HOA is almost impossible and then you have all those "rules" to follow and more money to put out each month. Hope you find something that works for you. Thanks for your continued support.
Good luck folks! Change is inevitable in everyone’s life. Always enjoy your content so I’ll still be checking in on you from time to time!
That's great, we appreciate it.
Being a Floridian we traveled to Blairsville area every summer and winter break in the 1960’s and 1970’s until we bought ( parents ) bought our second home in NC near Sylva. Sold that cabin to close friends in the early 2000’s.
I’ve seen a lot of change in N GA.
I use to be able to walk anywhere in those woods. Fish anywhere, and do things nobody is allowed to do anymore.
Urban sprawl has found Gainesville, Cleveland, Dillard, Clayton, Delonaga ( spelling ).
But it’s a great area to retire.
I love that area. Can’t wait to see the progress.
Maybe a Harvest Host stop😉
You're right all of this area is growing. We even said, you know that 10 acre horse farm could be a subdivision one day. True, but at least we have our private 4 acres to ourselves. :) Hopefully it will stay "country" for a couple more decades.
@@WattsOnWheels It looks like a great spot. Even if it does get developed, y’all have your piece a dirt, nice house, nice barn for everything and a hot tub. WIN WIN
I am so happy for you guys. What a wonderful opportunity with that beautiful land.
So proud you found a a forever place.
Thanks so much. We are looking forward to it.
Congratulations. On the house and the new puppy. What kind of puppy. Looks like a doodle of some sort. I think it's awesome that you're going to be able to house as well.
Thanks so much. Dude is a Portuguese Water Dog. We are looking forward to this big change.
Congratulations! The house plan looks awesome! You might want to think about a bathing station, maybe in the garage, for Dude. That would be sooo convenient to have. Also, because of Dude you might want to have LVP floors? Anyhow, I’m excited for you guys as you travel down this new path and I look forward to watching the home building process! 😀
Great minds think a like. We are going to do LVP floors and we added a wand in the shower for Dude. LOL
Agree on dog washing station!
Congratulations from Hastings Michigan. Major heat wave coming to the Great Lakes this coming week. Stay cool and continue to enjoy life.😎💪☔
Thanks so much and say Hi to Michigan for us.
Congrats on your new adventure. Hope all goes smoothly you don’t have Dave working too hard. That beer can get expensive. Stay in touch and when we get to South Carolina to visit our son and family, we may just give you a look up. Take care and we will see you on the road.
Thanks y'all. Hey, you never know, we may catch up with each other.
Wow! All the best to you 3😂 can't wait for all your new videos on the build and of course, your time in the house. Enjoy this new chapter!!❤
Thank you! Will do!
Good for you guys looks like a beautiful location. Be nice to put down some roots and have stuff all in one location. Congratulations. Keep up the good work. Say hi to Dude.
Happy Father’s Day.
Thanks so much. Dude says hi back. :)
Sounds fantastic - a new beginning - very exciting for you both - I look forward to seeing it all happen - take care - (Australia)
Thanks so much, it's going to be exciting.
Sounds exciting! As we age and and health causes concerns, change is necessary. Congrats.
So true. Glad we are doing it now, instead of later. :)
Congratulations on your new adventure.....sounds like fun times!!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic! What a great project. I’ve no doubt the end result will be wonderful.
Fingers crossed!
It’s good you’re doing that. We rv a lot, especially since we retired 3 years ago, we thought about full time but at the end of the day getting older we decided to keep our ranch house and all for the reasons your building now. Wish you would have did it sooner tho.
Smart move on your part. It's always nice to know you have a home to come back to, especially as we get older. Thanks for watching.
I am so happy for you guys. What a wonderful opportunity with that beautiful land.
So proud you found a a forever place.
But glad u are still going to communicate with us as your build progresses and travels
We will certainly keep the videos coming. Thanks so much for watching.
Congratulations 🎉 🍾 to new adventures ❤ what better way to figure out where you want to be then traveling all over. No regrets in your future!! Can’t wait to see your new videos.
We love the northwest...so beautiful, but no snow and being so close to the Appalachian mountains will work for us. 😁
We have enjoyed and learned so much from both of you. So we will continue watching your channel and look forward to watching your home build. There's never enough beer for Dave and we need to know how many beers does Dave need to build the house? We agree on those States because we absolutely loved North Dakota but I can't bring anywhere where it snows 85 ft at any given time. We are super happy for both of you. Are you keeping the house pay also? It sounds like you get one little room in the rest of all. The buildings and rooms are going to be for Dave and all the things he needs. Lol and I can't believe you've been on the road for 7 years, but you're one of The originals we watched from the very beginning before we started full-time RVing. Once again thank you for your wealth of knowledge and advice. We look forward to your next chapter.
Hi guys. First of all, we really appreciate you guys for hanging out with us for all these years. It's amazing how time flies. Dave could care less about the house. He can't wait to get into his super sized RV garage/man cave. LOL. Thanks for following our journey all these years.
So happy for you guys! It will be nice to have a homebase and a place to retire when you are done RV’ing
Yep. We want to do some of the work in the house, so we better do it while we still can.. :)
Exciting stuff, can't wait for these videos! Love y'all! Watching from South Arkansas.
Awesome! Thank you!
Contratulations on your new home plans. Sounds like you found your ideal location. We will continue to follow your adventures with your new home build and travels.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations. Love watching all your adventures-no matter where or what. Keep it going
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations guys can’t wait to follow along with the build
Awesome...thanks!
Love it! Suggest polished concrete floors. Easy with dogs.
So true about the flooring. Dogs can be tough.
Wow! That is big news!! How exciting, very happy for you both. Look forward to seeing the progress. - Michelle
Thanks so much Michelle.
That's awesome. We are up the road by Hiawassee with RV land also. Look forward to a meet up!
Oh that's awesome. We really like Hiawassee too. Yep, we'll have to meet up one day.
Super happy for you guys! Congrats and best wishes on your new place ❤️ looking forward to following along!
Thank you so much!!
Congrats 👏 I currently live in California.. born and raised .. 20 years ago I bought 8 acres with a double wide in Carnesville / Taccoa that I will retire to .. been to Cleveland Helen several times. So beautiful out there !! I'll be doing same thing .. travel and stay in North Georgia
Great minds think a like. :)
Congrats, and I will be looking forward to the building projects. I wish i was as talented as Dave.
I like a challenge and can't sit still...and I like to save money. :)
Your plans sound a lot like what we did in 2020. We wanted no HOA, at least an acre, garage, 3 BR, 2bath and enough room in the driveway to park our RV. We found a place in Upstate SC . Good luck with your plans. I would suggest use very little carpet .
Great minds think a like. Yep, only carpet in 2 bedrooms.
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your new home going up.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate that.
That’s exciting news! Ooooohhhhh you’ll also be fairly close to Jaemor Farms, too!
Ohhh Yeh! Love that place.
I use to live about an hour from there in Lavonia on Lake Hartwell , Loved it in North Georgia !
Love Lake Hartwell. I think we'll love it too.
I usevto go to helen all the time. Love the dancing in the lounge at the steak house. I went south. I left snellville ga for bonaire ga south of Warner Robbins AFB. Im retired trucker n my wife ran with me during covid. I ran pepsi contract and knauf contract . I took her all around Michigan. Upper to. She absolutely hated Detroit but loved the rest. Personally i would have went above helen. We might be camping up there this summer. Maybe.
That whole area up there is awesome. North of Helen is very pretty, but we wanted to stay within 1 hour of our houseboat. But the good news is, we are only minutes away from Helen and north of there.
New path,great plan sounds like fun,thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see this one start .....as you already know I'm so looking forward to watching this progress , its going to be an exciting change and just as exciting to watch it unfold
It's been a very slow start with so much rain. But now it is going pretty quick. Going to be exciting.
I always wondered what your exit plans looked like...I remember a couple years back you did a video on 3(?) different locations with like Casita's/Tiny Houses and Big Garages...we have looked at similar types for the future, though we are not full time/just a way to downsize and still get what we need and be able to travel while health allows us. We so wanted to put up a 40x60 pole barn but Twp and HOA said nope, no way. So we opted for what they would allow, which wasn't much. Best of luck with your build!
Yep, we all need an exit plan. But things always seem to change. We are excited that we will be able to have a big RV garage so we can have everything together.
WOW ..... Excited for you folks !! A NEW charter, for sure ..... LOTS to look forward to, for you both !!
Yep, going to be different and exciting.
Congratulations. So exciting! Can’t wait to see the progress.
Thank you so much. :)
Hey There! Guys this looks awesome. We are so happy for the two of you. Good luck, the plans look great and we
can't wait to see all the progress and the the finished product. Get the Beer ready for a visit when you guys get settled in and up and running. Love you guys and be safe out there in the woods. Jean and Paul
Hi you two. Beer is chilling right now. Hope to see you in August.
Congratulations! So happy for you guys. Hope all goes well with the build.
We're sure we will have our trials with the build, but it will be worth it in the end.
Congratulations!! Your home and area is going to be beautiful! We're happy for you both and look forward to watching the progress. We all have to do what works for us. 😄
Yes, you are right. Thanks for watching our journey.
Seems like most people stop the full time RV stuff after about 7 yrs. Hope you enjoy your new home
If we had started younger, we'd still be doing it for sure. Just slowing down a bit as the years are creeping up on us. :)
Love the design of your new home! Absolutely beautiful. You folks have great taste anyhow judging by the work done on your houseboat and other properties you have remodel. Looking forward to watching the build as we would like to do the same in the future!
Really appreciate that! Keeping our fingers crossed it all goes well.
Just saw Zippy today at PT so checking out the channel.
Oh, that's awesome. Hope you subscribe.
Looking forward to the Build and the RV garage/shop . Like the tee shirt - Sturgis beings that is where we are from .
You yes, Sturgis. We were there last summer. Had a great time.
I'm so happy for the both of you! Congratulations on your forever home! You are blessed!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations! How,cool! We have and a RV garage….can’t wait to see your progress.
Dennis
Dave could care less about the house. He is just fixated on the RV garage. Be glad when it goes up.
Congratulations on the new home, I don’t comment much but I’ve followed since you’ll started rving. I just enjoy the videos of the lake or Dave working on something. Be safe
Thanks so much. We will definitely make videos of his creations.
Congratulations! Very excited for both of you! As a child, I used to draw floorplans so love looking at floorplans! Excited to watch the progress!!
Me too. I bet I've made over 100 for this home. I'm sure I'll wish I had done something different after it's built, but so far so good.
Congratulations! Happy for y’all. Excited to see your adventures ahead.
Thanks so much Justin.
congrats! i look forward to watching the build process. i’m happy for you guys! Semper Fi 😊
Thank you!! More to come.
Awesome looking forward your new adventures 😊
Thanks Robert...appreciate you.
Great choice a place to start settling down . I'm sure whatever you do will be awesome. Enjoy your channel keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. We appreciate you.
Congratulations.. I’m still in Michigan.. we will be snow birds this year..
We can't blame you. Summer is nice up there, but winter is too long and cold.
Congrats! Looks like a nice retirement house and what man wouldn't be jealous of a 40x60 garage/workshop woo hoo. When you said you were an hour north of Atlanta when you moved there, I thought depending on the time of day that could only be a few miles.
LOL...yep, we stay away from Atlanta as much as possible.
❤❤ I hope all goes well with the house
Thanks you two. 🥰
So cool! We wish you an exciting next chapter!
Thank you very much.
Sooooo happy for you all! 🥰This age thing sucks at times! But to have a home base, yet still be able to travel how AWESOME! Again, can’t wait to see more videos on your progress. Take care and love you guys!♥️♥️♥️
Thanks sooooo much. We appreciate you.
An HOA, is a great reason to get out the artillery.
Best wishes all.
LOL. Been there, done that....don't want to do that again.
I am so happy for y'all..Congrats. I will love to see all on the new build. Love and Hugs from Oklahoma.
Thanks so much. Good to hear from you Gwen.
Congrats! Sounds great! Fully understand! Looking forward to watching you going forward!
Good Luck!
It’s BEER THIRTY!
Thanks so much. We are excited for this next chapter in our lives.
Good luck on your new adventure.
Thank you!
Proud for you and welcome to Georgia
Thanks so much. We love Georgia.
@@WattsOnWheels I’m GA born, GA bred, when I die I’ll be GA DEAD!
Good for you two!!!
Thanks so much. :)
Thanks. guys and many blessings from Texas enjoy everyday 🙏🙏
Hi! We'll get back to Texas. Love camping there.
Your plans sounds wonderful!
Thanks so much.
It is great to have a permanent home base to return to. Everything will be so convenient for you and Dave. Dave be sure to design you a beer room in the storage building, maybe a bar with a keganator for beer on tap 🍺
You got it man. Got to keep the beer endless. :)
Congratulations how exciting looks pretty cool. Make sure you have a good size fridge for the beer 🍺 😉 👌
Thanks! Gotta whole separate fridge lined up for the beverages. 😉
We ended up selling our 5th wheel because it was costing us too much to store it and our new home has an HOA (😡) and we couldn’t keep it close.
Oh man, that sucks.
Sounds Heavenly. Congratulations!
Thank you kindly!
Hi guy's...we think you made a good decision...if you notice...we didn't go full time...we love our place...actually...we are in dolores CO now...wishing we were back at home..🤔🤔..anyway..congratulations...we know your going to enjoy it..stay safe...J&A2ofus
"There's no place like home", right? It will be nice to not have to worry about storms and other things on the houseboat. We'll keep it, but for recreation, not for living.
Congratulations on the house and good luck to you both.🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations on building your new home and I will keep you both in prayers
Thank you so much!
Congratulations 🥳 looking forward to your new adventures.
Thank you!! 😊
So exciting!
So happy for you guys.
Thanks so much. We are looking forward to it.
Congrats!!! So happy for you
Thank you so much. 💖
Best of luck with everything
Thank you so much.
The right side elevation needs needs to have some additional siding details added. Big straight walls of lap siding tend to look cheap and boring...
That's the architects rendition, not ours. But the right side is not seen by anyone, but it will be jazzed up a bit. 👍
Congrats. Happy for you. Love your channel. Perfect location.
Thanks so much!
Are you guys moving the house boat up to the Chattahoochee, Murrayville or Chestatee River end of the lake? It's great you've got several good options closer to your new home.
Not for right now. Going to leave it where it is as we like the open slips and the wonderful people on the dock. Things could change in the future though.
I think this is awesome and normal for long term rvers. We all need a stationary spot.
Yep, we all need an exit plan. But we still want to get out there an travel. We look forward to traveling again in the future.
I love it ❤️ good for you guys, congratulations 👏🎉
Thank you so much Kendel.
