I have owned my house for 3.5 years now and it does not get any better. It may sound backwards but i pace myself with the thought that there is always going to be something to spend money on. I think the lie we tell ourselves as first time home buyers, or buyers of a "new to us home" is that there is only 1 or 2 things left, and then it will be perfect, then I will be happy. It is not true, its a lie, there is always another project to be done whether it is a desire project like a new deck/patio or painting or if it is a repair. No matter how many things I cross off the "honey-do list there are always 10 more on there.<br /><br />I enjoy reading the blog, hang in there with the projects and congrats on the house and the other "changes" in your life.Jason Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00814909372847386533noreply@blogger.com
