	"My House" is actually reasonably well sheltered from a volcanic eruption, assuming the mountain is not a supervolcano like Yellowstone. There are hills blocking the direct route. The lake will buffer mudslides, and "My House"'s location closer to the lagoon than the lake or river - and the likely continuity of the midstage hills and backstage mountains means there would be some low hills in that area, so even a significantly increased outflow from the lake would most likely not reach the house. That leaves ashfall, which is one of the lesser-impact (albeit wider-impact) issues in most cases - and in the Mount Saint Helens eruption, nearly all the major ashfall went <i>away</i> from the ocean.

		+	If the explanation of why he'd like to live in the picture is that it's interesting because it has a lot of different features, it makes sense that he wouldn't want to live on the farm because it hardly has any features. He doesn't seem to have a problem with dangerous forces of nature, since he wants to live next to (what appears to be) an active volcano. However, both the danger and the boredom explanations are included for the sake of completeness. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.186\|108.162.221.186]] 00:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
