In town Meditators have tended to buy East facing or 'remediated' homes and pay 
a premium.  The Jefferson County assessor sees this and assesses equivalent 
east facing homes at higher values than other homes. 
 When walking the north-south neighborhood streets in Fairfield you can see the 
East facing old neighborhood  homes tend to be owner occupied, nicer kept homes 
than the West facing homes that more likely are rentals. 


 Out in some county subdivisions or up on campus are the more pure ‘perfect’ 
vastu homes.

none.  My house though is facing the east direction.  So, it's the best

H, TM centers are now located in the University District and Bellevue.  
Wonder if they are located in east-facing buildings (smile)? 

 H...do you think it was the apartment itself that contributed to your 
returning to SF?  The actual building or your apartment in the building?  
Because it was facing east?  Which part?  How was it oriented?

 Emily,
 

 The old TM center was on Linden St., parallel to Aurora Ave.  That house was 
facing east.  And, that was where I was initiated way back when.  I was looking 
for a house in the same block to move in, but I decided to move to Federal Way, 
where I found an east facing apartment.  In retrospect, that apartment was 
lucky for me.  It somehow contributed to my return here in SF.  It was quite an 
experience to make the story short.

 Emily,
 

 The old TM center was on Linden St., parallel to Aurora Ave.  That house was 
facing east.  And, that was where I was initiated way back when.  I was looking 
for a house in the same block to move in, but I decided to move to Federal Way, 
where I found an east facing apartment.  In retrospect, that apartment was 
lucky for me.  It somehow contributed to my return here in SF.  It was quite an 
experience to make the story short.

The streets around here run at an angle such as NW to SE so almost no 
house has an east facing entrance. Health quality varies from an old 
fart like me with hardly any health problems to the 40 something next 
door who had an aneurysm a couple years back and is in a wheelchair and 
partially paralyzed.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: in Tampere, Finland

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

My nephew worked for awhile with a solar cell startup.  He told me my 
house would be perfect for solar.  Musk's company and other companies 
are often around.  It's about free installation until I ask if the 
electrical upgrade is also free. ;-)


This house had a shake roof when I moved here and it was well advised to 
replace it.  When I did in 2007 I considered options including a new 
shake roof with fireproof shakes but that was about another $5000 over 
just a shingle roof.  I also considered a tile roof also costing more 
but also heavy.  Both shakes and tiles are fashionable but most homes 
around here were going to shingles.  Mine reflect the sun in the summer 
keeping the house cooler but unfortunately cooler in winter.  In 
December of 2007 when temps started getting low I decided I better have 
some insulation put in but because of a trip to Seattle at the end of 
the month put it off until January.  A relative who had worked for PG 
told me I was smart to do so because PG was giving out rebates but 
those tended to run out late in the year and were funded again at the 
start.  So I got some help on the cost.


My other problem is finding a furnace tech who is not a scamster. I 
regularly get ads from furnace techs who reviewed were mainly in the 
business of selling you a new furnace.  I need to keep my fingers 
crossed that this furnace will make it through the winter.  A local 
contractor I know was going have someone he uses contact me to check out 
the furnace and do a tune up but that never happened.
