Every drop of water, crack, ant, royally freaks me out at this point. I can’t afford to rent. I own a shitty house that is a fixer upper. So frustrating.

    I know it is cheesy, but look at every maintenance project as an opportunity for learning a new DIY skill.

    Start going to garage sales and flea markets to collect tools.

    It helps if you can chitchat with someone IRL about mutual homeowner issues.

    Homeownership is man’s continuous battle against water.

      Yeah, a heck of a lot of household troubles can be put on the backbone, but anything involving water intrusion needs to be fixed right away.
