We northern California wooddorkers enjoy sunshine, fresh air and not
having to cart supplies and heavy machinery up and down stairs. If
you have a walkout basement with plenty of headroom, ventilation and
sliding doors, then you get upgraded back to "YOU SUCK".

Given the additional information (1800 sf for a shop), I must
revise my earlier response and totally agree with Partiarch

Where I live, no basements. But I spent all Saturday working in the
shop, and on the driveway, in shirt sleeves and sunshine.

Dude - shut up! Housing prices are bad enough without a bunch of
"freezin' their asses off easterners" migrating this way. Keep
bemoaning the fact that nice wood like those found in Pennsylvania
and Minnesota are hard to come by out here in EARTH QUAKE COUNTRY.
LAND SLIDES, SANTA ANA WINDS FIRESTORMS, hell, it wouldn't
hurt to mention Med Flies. And the volcanoes! Who knows when
Shasta's gonna blow. Stay away - it's too dangerous to live out
here and the ocean's 55 degrees all year round!

BTW Steve - YOU SUCK!

So I met this young fellow a couple of months ago. From Montana. He's
out here in the Bay Area for a couple of years. Says the coldest winter
he ever spent was in the East Bay. Sounds a little like Mark Twain.

And the real estate vultures came around last week. Seems a 1400 sq ft
house on a less than 10,000 sq ft lot sold for $602k. 45+ years old.
Expansive soils. No view.

All those other hazards aren't near as dangerous as our politicians,
though....

Patriarch,
thinking somewhere like Jeffersonville, NY looks mighty nice...

(charlie b: does that do any good? ;-))
