It's one of the tradeoffs of home ownership that you eventually have things break down. And the odds of things breaking increase with the age of the house. My house is within spitting distance of a century. No, I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds kind of cool. At least to me. Maybe you don't think so and that's fine, too.
So, last month I had to change out the innards of the toilet. Not too bad. It wasn't the "after" portion off the innards, so the water was clean. For the other part I like to call a plumber! This month was a miscellaneous leak. Who knows where! Yep, my job was to find out where the leak was. I cut out a large piece of tree root, but that wasn't it.
Even with all the repairs and upgrades, painting, sanding, cleaning, de-bugging, etc, it's so worth it. I've owned this house for 20 years now. I live in the country, so I have farm animals in my back yard. The peace and beauty it's breathtaking. And at the end of the day, I own this house and isn't that cool?! I won't be paying rent the rest of my life. I'll pay it off and own it free and clear. Awesome!! I can't wait!
Like raising kids, horses, llamas, dogs and cats, owning a house brings a certain amount of pride. I did that!
Wishing you proud ownership and a trouble free house!
