Uh Oh, now I've done it!

Davis is just about the most expensive place in the area. Woodland has gone
up a lot in the last 10 years because people are buying here and commuting
to Davis, or even commuting to the Bay Area. (One guy I know commutes from
Woodland to San Jose every day. Yuk!)

Sacramento varies a lot by area. Mom's house is in a pricey area -- close to
or above Davis prices. My current house is in a very cheap area. Where we're
looking is mid-range, but about 20% less than Woodland. (And only a 15
minute commute, instead of my current 30 minutes)


I know Davis is the most expensive location in the Yolo Valley, but it
still seems cheap compared to Santa Cruz prices. A shorter commute is
nice. I work on this side of the hill, but dh works in San Jose and he
gets tired of commuting...

lisae, who couldn't really afford to buy her house today...

Don't be convinced a 2 story is ok. It is awful in a warm area.
Sac town is hot in the summer. Bedrooms are upstairs and they
are hard to cool even if the house is well insulated. We are seeing
a ton more 2 story homes go up even in the desert. The upstairs is
awful temperature wise. That doesn't even account for the fact as
you get older 2 stories just isn't as easy. I won't say I'll never
live in a 2 story house again but I sure won't if I don't have to!

Someone is going to try and steal that DH of yours!

We've looked at a half dozen developments and floor plans -- still have to
resolve the one story / two story argument, er, discussion. But DH was the
one who first brought up the need for a dedicated sewing space, so that
seems to be on the list of "must haves". *grin*

The new house will probably be in the north part of Sacramento (wish we
could afford Woodland!), so still close to quilt shops. But I won't be
within a 2 mile radius of two excellent LQS's anymore... But before you
think I'll lose my Fabric Tramp title, remember there are close to a dozen
top quality LQS's within a 30 minute drive, and I'm always up for Road
Trips.

Hey, anything in the valley is cheap compared to anything on your side of
the coast range! LOL

But we pay for it in the summer... ;-)

This was too funny. Well, I certainly hope that you have sewn by now.

Today I finished sewing a couple of projects and commenced cleaning the
sewing room. I try to do this between projects so things don't get too
far out of hand.

I vacumed the floor all nice and tidy.
I cleaned and oiled and put new needles in both machines
I dusted off the cutting table
I threw away all the little bits and pieces and thread snips and such
that seem to get everywhere
I put away books and patterns and fabric scraps
I put a new blade in the rotary cutter

Everything is perfect for sewing the next project.

But...I don't want to mess it up! sigh

marcella
maybe I'll sew tomorrow...
