JDub Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hello, my name is John Williams. I’m 51 from Southern California. I supervise maintenance and purchase fire trucks for money, and love woodworking and remodeling for fun. I stumbled across KC Woodworks on YouTube, shop tour 2022. In the intro, I thought, “that looks like Montana!” My wife has family in northwest MT and we are looking at property up there for retirement. Thanks for the great videos and forum.

Coop Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hey bud, welcome to the forum. I just retired from the fire protection business and at one time we sold Boardman Fire Trucks. Just curious, do you deal in new or used? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDub Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thanks for the welcome. I work for a city fire department. I supervise the mechanics, arrange all the work, and purchase new apparatus. We have Seagrave and Pierce. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forums! Sorry for the late response, I'm working nights on this work trip.. You are correct, it is NW MT.. Kalispell to be exact. If you're ever in the area looking, give me a shout and we'll try and get together. Where abouts in SoCal? I was born down there and still have quite a bit of family there. I also seem to work there from time to time.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it here for a long time, but the taxes, homeless, and crowding are getting to us. Kalispell is awesome. We also like Columbia Falls. My wife’s relatives are in Trego. Have you ever been there?

JDub Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) That’s cool. My wife’s Aunt & Uncle moved to Columbia Falls about 25 years ago from Huntington Beach, built a new house on 5 acres, then it was getting “too crowded” for them, bought 80 acres in Trego, built a new shop and house up there in 2019. It’s a beautiful place. Edited February 5, 2022 by JDub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDub Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Been looking for months and months for the right house and or property up there. Put in a full price offer two weeks ago on. We were outbid. House was priced right, it sold in 4 days. we've looked at so many others that are overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really crazy about a year ago but, has slowly been settling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
