@katedavidsun: last house post for the day. a lot of people seem to relate to the struggles of homeownership so here’s some things i didn’t expect as a first time homeowner 🥲 it’s a labor of love owning a home, but the positives outweigh the negatives

My first year I was overwhelmed by all of this but you find a balance and acceptance. I’m just grateful to own a home!

use the leaves for garden mulch or composting!

Kate you can get a Ryobi leaf blower that doesn't smell or hurt the environment and is a little more quiet than a regular blower.

Leave the leaves! 🥰 They're natural mulch and really good for your soil!

The pocket door thing is true unfortunately it’s the easiest way to fix it - that’s why they lost popularity they’re hard to fix

Blow the leaves into your yard and then mulch them with your lawn mower! Don’t let it drive you crazy. Find the beauty in it 😊

It’s lame, but home takes time. You don’t need to tackle it all at once. Make small lists each year and work though what’s most pressing.

Disha :
Buy a large net to hover your deck. Catches the leaves, and you just have to flip the net to empty the leaves

Why don’t you hire the ppl who pick up leaves / mow the lawn. It’s like $60 where I live but it’s probably cheaper in va 🙂

when you were looking at the house, did you guys hire an inspector? it seems like the wall stuff could’ve been avoided before buying 😭

Definitely invest in a leaf blower. They make electric ones. I never understood why my dad was constantly leaf blowing but as an adult I get it lol

And unsolicited advice “you should do X!” Like ok are you coming over this weekend with $300 and doing it for me?

I was shocked that weekly yard service was $150 a month (in Oregon) it was well worth reclaiming our time. Maybe that would help?

Hire a landscaper 2x/year to do a “fall/spring cleanup” if you can. It’s worth every penny when you have a lot of trees and much less stressful

SO. MANY. LEAVES. and the price to get the trees cut down? so expensive.

I’ll never own a home with a yard again unless I can afford a gardener. That was eye opening

I’ve been there with the leaves- mulch when you mow and get a battery powered leaf blower and have on hand close by. Lifesaver!

The first year of owning my home was brutal with repairs. But then I had nearly a year of no problems! And we just mulch the leaves during a mow. 🥰
