Living along the southwest coast can be a dream life for sure. Beaches, sunshine & the ability to head to the mountains or the shore in the same afternoon is entirely amazing. We have lived here all of our lives & even though life is relaxing most of the time there are some things that my buddy and I deal with that people around the country may not realize. Did you know that my buddy and I never even flinch for the most part when my buddy and I have tremors. Yes I mean tremors like the kind that come with seismic interest! Earthquakes & tremors are a normal way of life for us & feeling the earth shake has nothing to do with emotional affixions. One thing that my buddy and I learned early on was that our Heating, Ventilation & A/C system had to have special affixions when it came to our HVAC duct. We can not have the conventional HVAC duct because our has to be flexible in order to stay in place during the shaking. If my buddy and I did not use that type of product my buddy and I would always have to bring in service people to service the cracks & disaffixs. We even have our Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit is sitting on a flexible pad to prevent it from getting detrimentd during the rumbling. These things are a small inconvenience for living is a nearly perfect environment. The freedom to live life in the outdoors year round & make the most of just about every afternoon is so worth it. If you ever have the opportunity to live in an section like this you should definitely consider it. You should also make sure that your condo & all the appliances are set up & built to withstand what comes with it.
