Currently looking for home/shop in Greenville or Augusta area as a
native Californian. Currently sharing 2 car garage with wood storage
outside as humidity on So Calif coast isn't a problem. Hoping to get
shop with enough space inside for storage and wondering if sharing a 3
car garage is viable. Would opening door for car cause too big a
problem with humidity? Expecting a dehumidifier will be required in
most cases but will opening the door overwhelm it? Californians aren't
typically faced with this schtuff. Observations welcomed!

Did they kick you out of California? Why would anyone in the right mind
voluntarily move to Greenville? Rent a house for a year - you'll be back!

No, not kicked out of Calif but 2 kids and grandkids are in SC and GA
and time marches on! I retired 11 years ago and wife joined the happy
throng 1.5 years ago. Looked for 2 weeks almost and have a couple of
"possibles" but nothing firm yet. Testing the waters so to speak.
After 22+ years of travel from Calif to Boston/Virginia/Wash DC year
round I'm too familiar with humidity but reality prevails.

There is a pretty active woodworker's guild in Greenville (no personal
experience)http://www.greenvillewoodworkers.com/index.htm There is a
hardwood dealer on Rt 101 just to the east of GSP airport. I live an hour
north in Fletcher, NC where it is about ten degrees cooler but has
occasional snow and ice storms and no woodworking stores closer than
Greenville (Woodcraft, also a Harbor Freight and a Tool Shed, Klingspors in
Hickory and Charlotte). But I have two retired brothers living in
Greenville. Suggest you try looking in the Taylors (semi-urban) and Greer
(semi-urban to rural) areas, and there are some very pretty rural areas just
to the north of them.

Thanks David for the info, it is appreciated. Guild looks impressive
and will look at more as time allows.

I live in Aiken, SC. (just across the water from Augusta, GA.) and
unless a garage in this area is unusually sealed, humidity will be a
problem. Do some real estate research and find a house with a
basement (rare but not unheard of) that has climate control or build a
separate shop building. If you own a home in California, you can
purchase an equivalent home and have enough money left over for a VERY
nice shop :-)

Thanks Bill, seems as though your observations are right on. After two
weeks looking we've decided to tread water and ponder a couple of
candidates. "The moving finger having written moves on and all of your
piety and wit ..." still prevails.
