It has been a month of learning about how to be a home owner, first legally and financially, and then logistically. We finished moving into our house Sunday night and even have the pleasure of houseguests already. We have met a few neighbors, and have wondered about a few more. We have pest control and help with our lawn, and have already learned about our water heater and electrical system, through surprises and research. Our house is old-new, first built in 1930, but stripped to the studs and rebuilt last year.
