[quote=sdrealtor]Portions of my backyard face northeast. I turn my sprinklers off in the winter and it is still a frozen tundra/swamp. I would never buy this orientation again. I can pay to cool my house with A/C in the Summer but I cant buy sun in my backyard in December.

Like the dude says, it all depends upon what you like.[/quote]

I guess if you have a Carmel Valley-sized back yard, the house shadow covers the whole thing. If you have a Clairemont-sized backyard, you can still have sunlit grass in the Winter 🙂

I believe you are correct in that assumption, sdduuuude, esp. since Clairemont has many ranch-style properties and larger lots :-}

as I sit here typing on the 2nd floor of a westward facing newer home with excellent insulation, the temp is 11 degree cooler compared to the outside temp. downstairs the temp difference is 13 degrees.

the garage feels like an oven on self-cleaning mode, but the house feels like the AC is on.

so is it orientation of the house? or is it the insulation? probably a combination effect?
