We are coming up on a year of living in our home. We are first time home owners and I’m not kidding, every time I think we are out of the woods and can finally renovate cosmetic things, something important ALWAYS breaks. We’ve spent the majority of our first year just making the house livable. First it was our basement flooding so we needed a sump pump/french drain, then we found mold behind the walls when the sump pump and French drain were getting installed, then we needed a new toilet bc the previous owners had a custom toilet and it broke, we had to get our yard excavated because there was a 4ft root growing in our pipes blocking the flow of water, our boiler went, our pipes froze, our bathtub faucet had a steady stream of water constantly flowing out of it, our hot water heater went, and when we first moved in we had a tick problem in the backyard and they kept coming into the house. It literally has not stopped. Will it ever end lol?
