This is something that has been in the back of my mind for a while.  I know
you can get good quality hobby (and professional) weather gear, but I've
never heard of seismographic material that would be reasonable for home
use.  I've always been fascinated by the geology of the area I live in
(especially when it burps at 3 in the morning and tosses me out of bed) and
I was thinking it would be neat to have a seismograph in my home.  Is this
at all feasible?  Would it be out of financial reach or simply require stuff
(like multi-hundred foot wells) that don't work for a hobbyist?
