Really nice house, Craig. Nice location, too. Hope it all works out for you.

Googled the guy who owns the house we're bidding on...came across this very cool old LA Times article. Yeah...that's the story the new upcoming Robert Downey Jr/Jamie Fox film is based on. How cool is that? Only in LA.

Wow, some story. Man those pics were a dissapointment! It is stories like this, particularly ones that don't have a positive outcome, that make me realize how trivial my hardships are compared to so many others out there.

Home inspection went pretty darn well today. We'll have all the details tomorrow. In the mean time... What's the best way to heat a pool? I figured gas would be cheapest, but I'm reading on the web an awful lot about heat pumps. Anyone have experience in pools? We want to be able to enjoy the thing year round.

I dunno the answer, but suggest we move your open house party to February!

Heat pumps are probably the eco-friendliest, unless you want to go geothermal -- but that'll be expensive.

Craig it sounds like the house is almost yours, congratulations! Heat pumps cost the highest initially and use electricity but are less expensive to run in everyday use. Gas heater are cheaper but are more expensive to run if used everyday. I use a gas Sta-rite, mainly because ours is a small indoor built in pool spa that we only use a couple times a month. Get a good pool cover, as that will also save you money on the heating expenses.
