We have been in our house for 5 years and have barely touched the "to-do" list from when we moved in. And we can't hardly keep up with the yard. We've totally let the "original" landscaping go to crap. Oh, and one more thing to keep an eye out in a "new" house - Wallpaper is from the devil!seussgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000177197075148901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598397386529574655.post-79830351069139385542008-08-05T12:04:00.000-04:002008-08-05T12:04:00.000-04:00Radiators are scary to those who never grew up wit...Radiators are scary to those who never grew up with them. They emit noises, they are often dusty and they are the thing (besides the bureau) that jumps out in the middle of the night to stub toes and bang elbows.Jendeishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960909534349311223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598397386529574655.post-79081171736114712602008-08-05T04:51:00.000-04:002008-08-05T04:51:00.000-04:00I'm very confused about the radiators.

Every house in the UK has radiators (apart from ones you wouldn't want to live in because they don't have a bathroom!). You turn them on, they give heat, you turn them off in the summer. You have a timer switch so they turn on before you get home from work. Any problems, you keep the plumber's number handy. What is difficult about radiators???!DrSpousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259337858075146058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598397386529574655.post-26761517332751511572008-08-04T23:57:00.000-04:002008-08-04T23:57:00.000-04:00Ahh... house hunting.

This could get lengthy!<BR/><BR/>1. Getting up at 5 am to do a practice drive into work was not that bad of an idea. I found a lot of neighborhoods/suburbs I did not want to live in.<BR/><BR/>2. Laundry cannot be in the basement!<BR/><BR/>3. We are handy but yet I still have yet to find my handy way in making drapes for our windows.<BR/><BR/>4. Mowing the lawn is not fun at all. Okay, it was fun the first few times.<BR/><BR/>5. Never buy a foreclosed house where the previous owners take everything but the kitchen sink! Two years later and we still have basement style light fixtures.<BR/><BR/>6. A 3-car garage does not mean that 3 cars will be going in there. With all of E's things, I am the lucky recipient of the 1 space that is available.<BR/><BR/>7. A cooktop island is really cool, until you bang your head on the pot rack.<BR/><BR/>8. Finished basements with no place to store things (i.e. holiday decorations) is not a good idea.<BR/><BR/>9. Always get a master bathroom that does not have two entrances (and house guest will not use). Well, unless you want to find out at 3 am that you have to go around to the other entrance and unlock your entrance from the bedroom.<BR/><BR/>10. This is the final thing. Count how many drawers are in your kitchen. I kid you not, my sissy didn't, she has two drawers.<BR/><BR/>Happy house hunting. That is on E and I's to do list for 2010. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598397386529574655.post-80358502876257848522008-08-04T21:13:00.000-04:002008-08-04T21:13:00.000-04:00I love house hunting.

If we rent out our townhouse, we can't really afford anything, but we probably couldn't sell the townhouse. And I LOVE footy, we each have two left feet when it comes to all things house related!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the search!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825803955705904174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598397386529574655.post-11560053768525172372008-08-04T15:36:00.000-04:002008-08-04T15:36:00.000-04:00Sounds like fun.
