Wow, for real, you tried it? That robot thinger is so cool.
I am generally un-handy and know nothing about this sort of thing. But lately I’ve been harboring a fantasy that it might be cool buy a property along the Tecolote Canyon ridge in west Clairemont, and replace the existing house (most of them are small 1960s numbers) with a nice modern open-plan house. That would result in a killer, modern home on a property with a spectacular nature-y view, right on a great walking/biking trail I go to all the time, for a cost that’s not TOO much more (I think?) than our current Bay Park house.
My girlfriend says it’s way too much hassle and I think she may be right. Reading this thread reinforces that idea… the permitting alone sounds nightmarish. But, it’s fun to think about.
One thing I thought was that if I could find a good prefab home with a design I like, it would simplify things a lot. Fewer choices/decisions to make. They seem expensive though. The robot house kinda reminded me of that, though I guess that’s a lot more customized.
