Is that you have to take care of everything yourself. No more calling the manager and having them take care of it.
We have no hot water. Either having it off before is resulting in no pressure or we just can't seem to light the pilot light. After several minutes we decided to stop fiddling with explosive gas.
Had to heat up water in a spaghetti cooker and take a shower that way!
Two of the outlets don't work in the kitchen.
The washer needs to be replaced so there's no water in "my" bathroom.
The cactus needs to be removed. Junie our Cairn got cactus burrs in fur and we had to get an emergency shaving on her.
But you know what?
We're happy! The extra space, the ability to do what you want to the house, and the quiet make it all worthwhile.
The shaven dog may disagree but she loves the big yard.

That kind of stuff can be a real pain, but it's still worth it.
I knew nothing about wiring when I first got into my home - now I can not only run wire and add/replace outlets / switches, I can work in the panel box. I didn't know anything about plumbing - now I can replace pipe, faucets, etc.
I do hire out for some of this stuff now that I make more money and have less time (especially plumbing - I don't like plumbing that much), but I still like doing some of the things myself (all electrical stuff I still handle.)
Good luck, Jen!!!

Ssssh. We also just bought a house. We're moving in tomorrow. Having a house will be easy. EASY I TELL YOU!

Ayeeeee!!!
The Cox guy was in the attic and his foot went though our ceiling.
Cox: Uh...no charge for today and we'll drywall for free!
Yeah you think?

Lol! I would have paid good money to have been there to see that! Reminds me of the scene at the beginning of Arachnophobia where Jeff Daniels is in the basement with the nail-gun and the nails are shooting up through the kitchen floor.

Here's the closest thing I can do.

Such a great movie. That and Houseguest? with the cat that wouldn't die is another one of my favorites. =)

Houseguest...
Sinbad's finest work.

Whoops... I gave the wrong title. I was thinking of Madhouse (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100087/) which had houseguests that wouldn't leave.
