You make me laugh. 11c(52f) is wonderful weather! I hate this heat in south FL, I got my a/c turned up. Can't wait to move north where ill get to enjoy 4 seasons and not need much a/c!
I agree with the fact that we had to turn on the a/c, but I will never move back to a more northern climate. Spent 13 years in Missouri (misery). That was terrible. Last winter we had 6 feet of snow dumped with layers of sleet and ice in between. I'll take south Florida.
What about north Georgia(near Atlanta) wonderful weather there, like 50 degrees in the winter, 70 degrees in the spring/fall? Save a bundle on a/c bills 8 months of the year. Might get a few snowflakes here and there, but there's almost no winter otherwise. Half the cost(house and otherwise) of living in south FL and no hurricanes!
Was the cheap houses and low cost of living why you lived in Missouri? I am considering moving to Pennsylvania unless house prices drop some more in Georgia. Decent houses in south FL will set you back a quarter million! In north Georgia, it's $125k. In northwest PA, it's just $50k!
We went to Missouri to get away from my mother-in-law and to be closer to my brother. Now, my mother-in-law is in need of a lot of help and so we moved back. At least we don't have to buy or rent a home. We live in her house and it will be ours when she is gone.
Plan to sell the house after you inherit it and buy a twice bigger house in north Georgia? Ever been to that state or know anyone who has? Hows the weather and living there?
I have another brother who lives in Georgia and personally that's too close for comfort. I want to stay as far from him as possible. He is a leech and will suck you dry. Money, happiness and anything else he can get. There were also other issues while growing up that I will not get into here, just know he had to get into some counseling for.
I will stay here in this house. It has survived 7 major hurricanes with little or no damage. We live on the flight path to a MAJOR airport and never hear the planes going overhead. The house was built with concrete cnder blocks, rebar and then the spaces were filled with concrete. It is over 6 inches thick. When we had out telephone installed, the guy from phone company broke or burned up 3 drills and bits just drilling the hole for the line.
It is insulated enough that we only have a window unit A/C to cool the whole house down.
My brother in Georgia has had to deal with a lot of ice and flooding. That's not for me. We live about 10-15 miles inland from the coast.
We reached a low of 46 degrees last night. Right now at 12:23 it is a cool 66. Not bad for south Florida. We are also under a fire warning/advisory.
