16. I'm in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

When the real estate agent showed it, I flipped.

Didn't quite know what I was getting into, since I have lived in suburbs all my life, but I got the "mechanicals" up to top quality, and that has paid off greatly in peace of mind.

They always show you creepy places all day and the plum at the end of the tour.

Previous owners set it up as a retirement place, and visited rarely, so it looked brand new. They had horses and grandkids, so the valley was more suitable.

I think they'd have made the power and water more durable if they stayed here longer.

So ask away. If I know an answer I'm glad to share. No house calls though.
