17. Again, you're getting bad advice here.

A/C is absolutely crucial. Make sure you have a fairly new HVAC. Gas heat is a ripoff but it's nice to have for cooking.

Basements are great because the area is geologically inactive. It will be great to have an area that is a moderate temperature in all seasons. There usually aren't more than 2-3 storms a year that warrant basement time.

Get at least a carport for rainy days but especially for sunny days. DO NOT park in the yard. That will get you labeled as trashy really quickly. This person giving you advice is taking it straight from Duck Dynasty, and those people are "reality" actors playing jumped up white trash.

You will definitely need AC. Fireplace is optional, but a nice backup heat southerncrone Jul 2017 #14
