   cp,

   I don't care where you are, it costs to maintain your house. Even Steven....if you ask me.

   *I think what you're getting at here is that place which is the climatological center of the country. FLA, too blistering hot. New England, too much winter.

   North East? isn't that where they store all the Yankees?

   Roughly half my life in Michigan, half my life in Florida(so far). Many many more trips to the convience store for "fluid replacements" in Florida, therefor higher cost to maintain the yard or paint the sheds in Florida.

   Seriously though, In my experience, sun, insects, rot, mildew, causes alot more headaches than 5 months of snow and 7 months of poor sledding. Part of this might be a change in quality of work/materials over the years. Not to be stereotypical, but there is a lot of just plain poor workmanship down here. Speed and cost has killed craftsmanship, or at least wounded it badly.
