Now, before you all pop the proverbial cork in our names, it's worth noting that, although without a doubt our dream starter home and in this Seattle market a great investment (not to mention a good time to buy), homeowning has, without a doubt, its challenges.
Take the million and one trips to the hardware store, for instance. I must confess that, although I consider myself to be extremely handy (whereas Chris is more handsy than handy), I had no idea the products, tools, gizmos and gadgets just waiting to be purchased by unsuspecting newbie homeowners like ourselves.
From green garden sprinklers to metal saws, from furniture felt lining to dishwasher fresheners ... there's absolutely no end to the bounty at the local hardware store.
With power drill in hand, we go where no bohemian urban yuppie has ever gone before [*CRINGE*].
(Well, at least it FEELS that way right now.)
Wish us luck, will ya?
