I've entered the world of home ownership!

Congrats!
Don't let any improvements show on the outside! The building inspector and tax assessors will swoop in like the vultures they are. (No offense meant to any honest, caring and understanding bldg inspectors and tax assessors here).
Get some white sage and smudge the place, and....water them dang geraniums!

Congratulations & good for you. Chores never end, and will pile up if you don't keep up. Now go ahead and make it yours with you special touches.

Dream homes......

Congrats on the house, Barb! I like small houses. I think the trend toward ever bigger houses is silly.

Look what happened to the people in their 20's and early 30's who sprung for their 'dream homes' at inflated prices.

When our son gets out of high school we will be looking to downsize, maybe a condo or something (hopefully NOT a trailer).
