Some have decades of protecting the shoreline, wholesale removal of poison ivy, nurturing the woods, and warmly consider it "Home". (Especially when it
is warm
).
I have many running board-feet of lumber that I've personally installed, and a decent forest of marketable white pine trees that
I planted.
(Planted
before the movie "
Silent Running", with crazy-guy actor Bruce Dern. Hmmm...crazy-guy...oops!...).
Anyway, when one has "sweat-equity" in one's home,
selling to pocket the money isn't an easy option—even as the McMansions encroach.
