We have now been in our house exactly two months. Although we have been enjoying many things about our house, we have also already had problems!
Joys
1. Almost triple the room of our apartment
2. Decorating (but not the cost of decorating)
3. No next door or upstairs neighbors
4. Beautiful views and people watching
5. A garage
Hardships
1. Dealing with Comcast (who had to come out 6 times to finally fix it)
2. Installing a sprinkler system has taken us a long time and still isn't finished
3. On Sunday we noticed a leak and our water line setter had broken
4. Neighbors setting off firecrackers in our yard (what are you thinking?)
5. A LOT more space to clean, so I banned John from the upstairs bathroom
Overall we have loved our new house. Once the yard is finished I can stop looking so enviously at our neighbors lush green grass.
Ah, yes, the neighbors, but I bet you wouldn't go back to the apartment!
ReplyDeleteno I wouldn't! We are spoiled now!
DeleteI hear ya on the envy of others lush green grass though :). We haven't even started our lawn journey yet. We've decided to wait until spring AND do a sprinkler system. Oh the joys.
ReplyDeleteWell we didn't have too much of a choice. Our HOA told us we had to do it this summer. At least you have a front yard!
