10. Sorry not clear on the basement

issue. I have seen several homes on Zillow that do have basements. Is it a desirable thing or not. I guess, I don't understand the connection with the water table and the basement.

I have only lived in California and in Arizona. Basements are not a thing in either state.

All I know about them is that milleneals are living in them because of lack of jobs. I did see some homes with finished basements and they are nice. Lots of extra space.

Are they used for shelter from storms?

Yes, there are basements. I would advise having one, if possible, southerncrone Jul 2017 #12

Again, you're getting bad advice here. GaYellowDawg Jul 2017 #17

You will definitely need AC. Fireplace is optional, but a nice backup heat southerncrone Jul 2017 #14

Speaking of heat... jmowreader Jul 2017 #15

Yes, moonshine can be obtained. Be careful about asking for it, unless you buy the legal stuff southerncrone Jul 2017 #13
