If you've always wanted to deal with the aftermath of half-assed decisions made decades ago by a perfect stranger, home ownership may be for you.
@emdeesee And how exactly is that different from renting?
@starbreaker Renters have that plus a middle-man?
@emdeesee Householders have a middleman, too, at least until the mortgage is paid off.
@starbreaker Banks don't fix furnaces.
@emdeesee still trying to figure out why my entire house was painted pink. I mean *all* of it. Peptol-bismo everywhere.
And they apparently lived there for 60 years in a temperate-to-chilly climate and never added insulation. 😕
Humans are weird.
@emdeesee wheeeeee I'm about to shell out two grand because idiots who owned this house decided to NOT fix the four inch crack in the main sewer line 😤
@emdeesee The best part of living in a 100+ year old house is trying to figure out WHICH generation of previous homeowner fucked up with particular bit of the large strange slow machine I'm expected to sleep soundly in at night somehow.
@emdeesee Fuckin RIGHT?! I kinda wish the thing would be leveled and I could start fresh.
