Congratulations sj and TCG! How exciting. I hope you have no plumbing problems.
Me too because we're pretty clueless. Although we do have a list of numbers from our real estate agent of people who fix things.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property. ~Charles Dudley Warner
Congratulations, sj!

You'll learn.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, you will indeed learn. DH was amazed at my power tool collection when he first met me. Have house, have collection of DIY books. YouTube is our best friend now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congratulations, sj and TCG! Yay new house, all yours! I sit with the folks in the DIY homeowner corner. It's cool! Join us, we have power tools.

Yes, children, once all we had were well-thumbed Time-Life home repair books. I'm going to hug the internet now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dear handy home repair DIY people: PLEASE COME TO OUR HOUSE. Please. DIY clothing? No problem. Any sort of home repair thing? Oh no. We do not have those skills.
I have finished packing the big suitcase for this weekend. My fancy fancy outfit, Cass' fancy fancy outfit, corsets, spare hat, spare boots, and ... regular clothes. If I could travel with a steamer trunk and a footman, I would, dammit. But the Vampire Ball is going to be fabulous.

I would trade home repair for clothing alteration! Would that we had transporter technology.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And I have taken all of the donation stuff out of my trunk. By actually going and donating it! It's exclamation point worthy because now your suitcase (and you) will actually fit in my car. That was not the case earlier today.

Sometimes I still like the home repair books better
I've hung onto a couple of useful books, mainly Fix It Fast, Fix It Right and a fat Time-Life Complete Fix-It book, plus books about things I think I might do in a hypothetical future in which I have money, health, time, motivation and a chop saw.
