I feel like I’m always hearing people explaining how to tackle painting jobs the “right way” or telling us all what we “need” to get this basic job done properly.
Plus there were some weird cat/rat things running around all over the place and that was kind of concerning.Walking away from that one allowed us to find this house though: Not quite as well-preserved in all of the rooms, but with a 10 year old kitchen and bathroom, and in the perfect location for us.
We also have an amazing creek behind our house where all the wildlife is decidedly.creepy, which is nice..There will be plenty.
You know this of course, but there will be so many that you won’t expect.Some of the sacrifices you do expect are things like hard work, having to wait to afford the projects that you really want to do, maybe a little bit more of a drive to go shopping, less access to all the city amenities.
The things I really find myself feeling on a daily basis are things like never being able to have a house that feels really clean in the rooms that haven’t been totally renovated yet, and that’s most of them.
I also really miss having access to walking trails in city parks.All pieces were attached with hot glue..
