+1 for what Gage and others have written.
I pass through Chattanooga a couple of times a month, so your teardrop is not far out of my way. However, the difference between what I'm looking to spend and your $7K asking price is so great that I fear any offer I could make would seem unreasonable.
I'm still looking for a teardrop in somewhere in the SE. If I don't find one that suits me, and I manage to wrap up my other projects by then, I may try to build one this winter.
