Hi SSG,
Thanks for the update. I posted a great post about NH but I got signed out I guess it happens so I will post a short post.
NH has lots of lakes and mountains. I have enjoyed both. The people are nice and you will be welcome there. It is close to Quebec Canada so alot of French folks are in Manchester, NH. There is lots of growth going on if you wanted work there. I worked for the largest non-union plumbing shop in New England when I lived in NH. You are close to Massachusetts so you can go to Boston, Mass to see the sites. If you go let me know I would be very interested.
Cheers,
Jim L+H xxxooo's
