0.000014%

Not that much of a worry

Thanks for the update.

...one of the Eagles this afternoon

When we first moved here I was a little worried about EVERYTHING.... Rattlesnakes, scorpions, Tarantulas, Black Widows, Brown Recluse, Valley Fever, Rabies, Plague, Mountain Lions, Bear, wild fires, Africanized bees, fire ants, flash floods, dust storms, etc. We really do have all those things here in Arizona! But over time I found that the scorpions, rattlesnakes, and tarantulas here are few and far between, and monthly spraying the outside perimeter of the house keeps the critters away anyway. We are at 3600' elevation so the Valley fever isn't a problem. You just need to respect Mother Nature, use common sense, and take precautions where warranted. I truly love the wildness of the area - including all of the wildlife... bobcats, coyotes, javelinas, bald eagles, mountain lion, bears etc. I can do without the scorpions and rattlesnakes, but in the past year and a half I've seen only 4 dead scorpions, two tarantulas and zero rattlesnakes

YES, THIS IS A GOD AWFUL HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE OR EVEN VISIT... so if I may suggest that all stay away. LOL.......

Sorry Cause but I have to agree with Mark, I'll be pming you some addresses looking for advice on the neighborhood if you don't mind.

 

[Floorist]

That's awesome! Are going any bigger?

Bigger yard, house is slightly smaller. But it has a huge deck.

 

[Havasu]

Most women like a big deck!

Cause, you live in a cool place. I would probably love it there. How's work for those that have another 25 years? How big is your shop?

Here I have 15 acres, a 4500 sf house with an attached 28x32 garage and 30x40 two story shop across the street from the payette river for the price of a small tract home in California. But we do have cold winters. I don't think we have any laws here? If you screw up I'm sure a neighbor will take care of you.
