Project Updates:

I have officially owned my house for three years now.

Some of you may be wondering why a 28 year old single female would own a house. Well here goes:

1. Because I can.
2. I was tired of dealing with running from rent increases and racist landlords.
3. I don't make that much money so I figured that mortgage payments were far superior to regular rent. Placing money in the hands of the bank as an investment is way better than placing money into the grubby hands of a landlord who often cares very little for the property and never fixes anything.
4. I enjoy remodelling/redecorating.

Here are the highlights of my time as a homeowner:

1. Year 1: Robbery 8 days after moving in to the house. Replacement of bathroom fixtures.
2. Year 2: Replacing roof and siding after major rainstorm leads to water IN the house.
3. Year 3: (The joys of being a landlady) Having to deal with evicting a tenant for negligence and repairing the damages associated with the situation. Installation of new windows.

What is to come?

I need to deal with the fence situation in the back yard (or lack of upright fencing). Once the area is secure then I will fix the deck and do some landscaping in preparation for my hot tub.
