@dmestan posted:Brian - Wow 52x32 is huge! I already know how much I will miss my basement. Trains in the furnace with room (17x17), main basement area has a 9' pool table (my other hobby) and a bar, another room for gym equip and my work bench. On top of that we have lots of other storage areas. Purging our stuff so we can squeeze into a Cali home is going to be the hardest part. I think many people out there must use the garage for storage and leave cars outside.
Escondido, Vista, Santee, Poway are some of the areas I've been looking at. Want to be < 45 min from La Jolla where my wife will be working. But also no too far East - I don't like hot weather.

Don, we had to purge a lot of stuff before we moved. Mostly the layout lumber and other things I was going to use for the layout. I also had a pool table in the basement that took up valuable layout space. I even planned to build over it, but then we got the word we were moving. I tried selling the table since it wouldn’t fit in the new house, but places that buy them wanted pennies on the dollar. It was cheaper to leave it rather than have someone pack and ship it. Even though our house here is a little bit bigger than back East, it has much much less storage space.
In addition to the towns you mention, look in San Marcos too. San Marcos is between Vista and Escondido.
