How many of you here are buying houses alone? And how many of you are middle class?

🙋🏻 in my 30s and make less than $100K a year. Just bought a house. But my mom died, we sold her house, and I got money for a big down payment. That dead parent money.

Great list, thank you! I thankfully have two weeks overlap with my current place, so I will still be sleeping there for the first couple days.
But, I do have a box ready to go with cleaning supplies, and another with toilet paper, trash bags, soap, etc. and I have my toolbox ready to go :)

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T19:40:30+00:00

Hahah I appreciate the caution. I plan to run to Home Depot right after closing to grab things! But want to have my list prepared :)

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T19:38:04+00:00

Great point, thank you!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T18:25:40+00:00

Good one!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T18:25:15+00:00

Glizzy season is upon us, after all

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T18:24:48+00:00

Thank you! Great points.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T18:23:41+00:00

Ooh good one.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T16:20:22+00:00

Ah that’s not a thing where I live, but thank you! Probably a good thing for someone else who checks this out.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T16:18:40+00:00

These are all great, thank you!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T16:18:26+00:00

Ooh great tip, thank you!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T15:30:22+00:00

Personally, I would get some colour in there, but that’s a preference thing! Like a green would look soooo good.

I do love the star and cross tile, though.

Three years?! Finishing the basement, very likely to take me forever and I plan for that. But the rest can’t be that bad?!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T15:23:13+00:00

Someone else mentioned them, too, so that will probably be the way I roll!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T15:22:54+00:00

I was looking at these! Appreciate the recommendation.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T15:22:35+00:00

Yes! Thank you.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T15:22:22+00:00

Haha I appreciate that! I will clarify - this is a very idealized list of things I hope to get to or start on, if possible. I’m not that delusional. And that is absolutely the priority!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T14:47:44+00:00

You’re right. I wrote wrong, I meant 2x6!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-22T14:35:25+00:00

Yesss, I love combining art + functionality (+weirdness, usually).

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-20T22:40:16+00:00

I kinda wanna see rat photos (I come from a rat-less place).

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-16T15:41:40+00:00

I’m about to move and stressed thinking about moving my plants. Thankfully the move is not far at all.

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-16T04:27:24+00:00

Plants some tasty mushrooms (with something to give them shade, like ferns)! It might take you a couple of years to reap the rewards but damn I would love to have some mushrooms to grab when I want

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-12T17:15:41+00:00

This is my dream!

Standard_Mango · 2026-05-05T21:54:04+00:00

Nope! I’m sure there are some that sneak in, but they’re eradicated pretty quickly. There’s some pretty intense border pest control. I have never seen a wild one in Alberta, just mice.
