I am also looking at some California properties in Imperial County for "snow bird" construction.

One of the people that met me there to see the house was 70ish year old guy who promptly tripped and stumbled/fell ten feet before landing in a pile of snow. 

If you have chance of pipes freezing i say stick with copper but if you live in the warmer states that never see snow i would recommend pex. you cant thaw out pex tubing when frozen. i also dont believe in the shark bites or the fitting that clamp from pex to copper. seen them leaking and rather stick to a torch with some solder. 

For all you handymen (and ladies)...A snow plow apparently knocked the mailbox over at one of my properties.

The only thing we didn't do much of due to weather was landscaping because the ground is frozen and there is snow on top.  

Already signed up...unfortunately, snow has postponed many of the meetings.

Hope you're digging out from the snow (or vacationing somewhere warm!)

This tenant is doing the lawn and snow removal maintenance so they discounted his rent to $675.

That way, they have time to get settled into their new home without having to worry about cutting the grass and all that fun stuff.For anyone who sells houses in the wintry areas, like Cleveland, you could pay for their snow plowing while they get settled in.

I solved that problem , then a damn pipe burst on an exterior wall of my house , fixed that , now I have about 20 hours of snow plowing to do .
