Hey congrats on the house. That is quite a road to ride. I would be eyeing up an easier one myself, but then again, I kinda hate hills.
I ride about 9-10 miles one way to work. It's an slow uphill grade most of the way in until I get closer to the hospital and then it turns into rollers with a nice, steep, nasty smasher of a hill on campus. That thing kills me everytime.

Congratulations on the house!
My commute is 42 miles total, with some juicy hills. I do half of it by bus and half on the bike. It would just take me tooo darn long if I rode the whole thing.
Driving halfway and biking the rest might be a very good option for you if you hit a time crunch."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I did commute 15 miles each way last week when I was at a course. Took me an hour in the morning and 90minutes at night, but I actually enjoyed it. My normal commute would be 40miles each way, but I take the train for most of it. I use the trip home for training rides and cycle half or all of it when I have time.
