re: I bought my house in the Summer of 2020 for $321,900

We bought a 1990s fixer upper for 190k July 2020 as our first house. We hated new build cause the neighbors are on top of you. And communal mailboxes makes it seem more like an apartment.
Fixer uppers are fun for TV but not in real life. Finally bought new furniture last week and our dishwasher decided to break and ruin the kitchen floors. Joy.
Next build is def. going to be custom without an HOA.

I will never live in one of those DR Horton type communities. Our real estate agent convinced us to go see just one and when trying to take a picture of just the house I counted 4 others in the photo.

I've learned to be a DIY electrician, appliance install & repairman, painter, fixture installer, pool boy & carpenter.
I don't do any of these things particularly well but I cannot fathom how much we would have spent hiring this done especially given how many times my wife changes her mind on lighting.
My favorite moment was a couple of months after having installed her DREAM chandelier on a 14" ceiling a guy shows up at the door while I'm working and says he's here for the chandelier posted on buy/sell/trade.
I was furious. I had to remove it without tearing it up (18 light fixtures) and it felt like 500 pounds and had ugly wiring sticking out of the ceiling for another 2 months while she shopped around for a new one.
