House

We have acquired a house. It has rooms, and came with doors, which was a nice touch. Here’s the timeline:

• December – Decided to buy a house. Researched.
• January – More research. Drove around neighborhoods. Found a real estate agent.
• February – Looked at houses. More research.
• March – Found a house. Made an offer. Inspection. Negotiations.
• April – Closed on house! Packed boxes.
• May – Worked on house. Packed boxes.
• June – Moved into house! Unpacked boxes.
• July through September – Began and/or completed assorted house projects. Mainly began.

I’ve acquired lots of useful skills, such as rewiring electrical outlets, installing light fixtures, painting ceilings, installing toilets, replacing the thermocouple in a water heater, and of course navigating big box hardware stores.
