	Put an end to popups!

The company is gortex? They make grafts used for the implants of a-v shunts grafts used for people with diabetes that need dialysis. Very popular graft material here in the sa hospitals. I had the chance to take a travel assignment there. didnt think it was a good move. Might in the future if i hear good words about it here.

I thought Gortex was those really heavy-duty coats.

Which is good. They should give him a free coat. So the cold weather shouldn't be too much an issue

Year round they seem to average 75% sunny days and a total of 23 inches of rain per year. Not bad but the temperatures are a bit low for my cold blood.

The summer temps are a little high, but I like the winter temps.

IIRC, Gore-tex is a material, very durable and waterproof. So I can easily see it being used in both jackets (I have a Gore-Tex jacket - standard issue for a Vancouverite) and medical supplies, especially sutures.

yes the good thing about our fahrenheit system (vs the crappy celsius system ), is 81 degrees is essentually the 70's. Close enough for comfort.

A lot of the housing stock appears to be a bit on the old side and I don't think I like the style but the prices are cheap.

Yeah, the housing selection is a little stark if not retro... however, 275 is much better looking than 500

I had to explain that to the person who interviewed me.

Plus if I remember the house you bought in SF bay area was much smaller, older, and in need of a few repairs where as these seem to be a buyers market instead of a sellers market. Say good bye to 15% annual appreciation but say hello to half acre lots and twice the living space.

Oerdin: The guy that interviewed me told me that housing in that area wasn't as good as I might thing. That a 3 bed 2 bath place of 1700 sq ft goes for about 275k. I told him that my fixer upper in a not so nice neighberhood, 1400 sq ft, 2 bed, 1 bath goes for 550k... He apologized for making asumptions about the cost of living in the bay area.

I think I can walk away with about 50k from this house and make a nice down over there.

yeah, normally those prices would be high. They are even a little higher than Vegas. But compared to where you live, not so bad.

Flagstaff is the only town in Arizona that I've been to that I'd consider living in.

And some of you pusses think it's too cold? Well you can always drive 15 minutes to the valley and roast to your heart's content.

Maybe you should consider building a house if the prices are reasonable but the existing stock leaves something to be desired. You could rent a place temporarily and design a nice new place for your new family. You seem to have experience doing renos, so maybe it would be up your alley.

Just a thought.

I have been kicking that around Kontiki. I am going to try and put off buying another house for 6 mos to a year, then see how much money we have, what the market is like, if we like the area, etc... And then decided, but building is a definite option.
