Thanks guys! I'm currently out in Livermore, CA remodeling a house for a friend and doing woodworking on the side. One possible option is buying a bungalow in Alameda and remodeling it. I figure if we move a bunch of A&C furniture in, it'll already look great. If we do the bungalow thing, we'll be renting it while we're out sailing, so we don't want to overdo the remodel. We're planning on circumnavigating on a 42 footer, starting in a few years. As usual, we'll buy a boat that needs some TLC. Until then, it's sawdust time!
