Do you have an example where CH was more reasonable? I don't have enough experience here, so would greatly appreciate hearing what you'e seen. Thank you!

Good point - if it's just a cost-savings, it less awesome. Not knocking it, I mean you gotta do what you can. But I love the idea of carving out your own balance of work and life.

I was thinking it would be great for a company to incentivize a family nomadic trip (during a school break or something) to a timezone that might need better coverage for whatever the remote worker does. You know, here's extra funds to spend some time in APAC or EMEA for someone who specializes in a needed topic. Bring the family, make memories for a week. Would be a wonderful perk.

Cheers to a better lifestyle trumping mortgages and office life.

I own my place but only the floor. I'm in a 2-unit condo, so I don't own the roof per se. That means if the guy upstairs has a toilet overflow, I get the downstream effects (that happened; not fun).

I wish I had a standalone home (floor to roof and all in between) - especially in an area where the retrofits from the article were possible. I've been 11 years in my current place and now I _really_ know what to look for next time.

I suppose it's like anything: once you've spent enough time to see how small cracks will widen; enough time to know what gutter configurations will cause; where the architecture might collect rain and cause flooding; where rodents can find ingress -- once you're pretty battle-worn, a new house shines different.

My wife is looking at places and because I've run maintenance, we look at things quite differently.

Use federal incentives, spend USD $75k, money back in 6 years, then turn a small profit from then on. I need to move.

My first commands: >> ls -a >> cat help.txt >> pushd neighbors_house I got back: "pushd not found." >> cd ..

I'm a total scaredy cat.
