“I’ve considered buying a 1950-1980 house in central coastal San Diego”

Brian is considering buying a house… sacre bleu!

[quote=briansd1]I don’t see the attraction of houses with exposed wood beams.

I personally don’t like wood anything that looks old, worn and dated after a few years.

Don’t worry, as you get older you’ll develop some taste. (ok, settle down, just kidding, crimmy some people are so touchy)

Actually, as a wood worker, I have to say that many woods develop more beauty as they age. The grain patterns become more pronounced and the finish takes on a beautify patina.

Also worth noting, most of the exposed wood beams in SD are not even close to the same as a real timber frame.

Very good thread, everyone. I’m saving this for when my wife wants a custom house… then again, she’ll probably want to general the project herself 🙂

When I go to mountain resort areas, I always dread the chalet type accommodations where everything is wood with brown carpet. I don’t care how much they costs (some places in the millions) but those places are just uninviting to me.

I don’t see the attraction of log houses in Wyoming and such.

Give me a modern concrete house with bay windows any day.
