Re: Does everyone get some level of cold feet?
 

I know exactly what you mean - for me it's usually while driving home with the windows down and the warm air flowing in.

For me it is more often when I am doing something - flat on my back in a crawl space fixing plumbing, astride the roof ridge demolishing a chimney, holding a chainsaw and felling 80ft pines, etc., in other words things that my former life in the UK did not prepare me for, not even close!. .... But yes, also tooling around in my Mustang GT. :thumbsup:

We were in California last year and rented a Corvette.
Last two times, we rented the Mustang convertible. Really prefer the Mustang over the Corvette.

Fortunately, my UK house was pretty much the same standard of build - made in the 70's with a wood frame, two flat roof's that needed replacing during my 12 year ownership, literally no insulation between the plasterboard interior and plastic Shiplap exterior under the front windows and I even got to replace the Boiler and Wiring alongside having to fix a damp problem on an extension that wasn't built properly or submitted for Planning Approval. To me, even a bigger shed of a house is better :lol:

Thanks all. Sometimes its good just to know there were others in the same boat - and likely this is one of those things that if people got almost all the way there and then decided not to go ahead... probably regret it for the rest of their lives.

Wow, so you really do know the fun you can have with a timber-framed home! :rofl:

I remember seeing some "American-style" homes built in the UK in the late 1980's but I hadn't realized that some had been built as far back as the 1970's.
