i’m a homeowner for the first time.. i bought a tiny (~1000 sq feet) house in june of last year, and it has been a *lot* of work.. not that it was in bad shape when i got it, but there’s been a constant stream of improvements.. the baby’s room. the living room. the garage. the backyard. ahhh the backyard.. this weekend i finished building a fence to mark off an area for our dog. it’s pretty cool.. here’s a picture and another and a picture of the dog with his friends (see if you can guess which dog is mine ;) so i think that when i retire (hopefully soon, realistically not) i want a condo or at least a handyman/gardner so that i don’t have to do much.. i’m chronically lazy (a slacker if you will) and the idea of working a lot doesn’t really appeal to it. i don’t even have the gall to call myself ‘efficient’.. anyways, enough today.
