Moving to Texas this Fall.

I wouldn't count on Stevens transport in the oilfield
For nothing.
They just shut down there whole tanker division
Out there.
There frac sand is next.

 

There's towns in Texas bigger than Connecticut.
I'm from jersey, I know exactly how you feel.
Moved to Texas 15 years ago.
Best thing I ever done.

I wont ever live north of I-40 again.
Unless it's Las Vegas.

 

Here in Arkansas for about 6 weeks going into August you do nothing outside. Some years we topped 130 in the shade. We had a 16 seer central air backed by a three ton against a 1500 sqfeet house and it did good. (It had better...)

I remember many weeks in Texas 100F and not a rain anywhere. It's not a problem when you adapt to it well.

Now if I want to remember how people complained how hot it was in Maryland...

 

Exactly glad u know where I'm.coming from. I was born in the Bronx raised in CT.with the weather and crazy laws and high cost of living the South seems like the place to be.

Did you grow up in CT? The Northeast is very dense compared to West Texas (or anywhere in Texas other than the big cities, for that matter).

I grew up in Arkansas, the whole state has a population of 3 million, and West Texas seems sparse by comparison. You are going from one extreme to the other. An actual city in the South is probably a better bet FOR YOU (I understand that you have a lady you are taking into consideration). Most of West Texas there's just NOTHING there...

 

Then there’s this -

 

My partner and I do not like driving up there because everything is expensive in New England.

Go over to the oil field section in these forums and spend some time reading over there.

Theres stuff to know about midland/Odessa. Like it always stinks like really bad. I drove through there overnight and the smell woke my partner up from sleeping. Its really strong.

Its expensive to live there also because of theres so much oil field work going on. Its hard to find even a motel room sometimes. Bed bugs are a problem.

I used to work for the state and I have heard the stories. State employees dont like going down there because of all the growing pains. Its a rat race.

Some oil field companies will have an onsite dorm room you can sleep in. You could also do like a camper or something.

Youll figure it out I am sure with a bit of research and planning. Lots of people do it.

 

Living situation isn't an issue my girlfriend lives with her sister a about 1.5 acres. But yea I saw rents are astronomical compared to other parts of texas

 

What's your opinion of Telegraph, Texas?
Looks like a quiet, laid back, little town.
