I was always wondering where I could put the combined wealth of knowledge I have accumulated during the course of owning a house - well here is the perfect venue.
Maybe nobody reads it, maybe no one will ever head my pleas, but here goes:
1. If you are going to buy a house, try to look at it in the fall - especially when leaves fall off. Raking leaves can be a big expense, either monetarily or in time. (It seems like all the leaves in the neighborhood blow to my property!)
2. Never have a perfectly flat driveway if you live in an area of snow or freezing rain. Also, if you pick one with a flat drive or walkway, make sure it is on the south or west side. Nothing more interesting that to shovel snow in the morning, have in melt and then freeze in the afternoon (no sun) and come home to an ice rink.
