I'm redoing the whole kitchen and will be modernizing it quite a bit and have it more of a "chef's kitchen". With that, I'll be doing tile or bamboo floors. As far as the yard work, I don't think it'll be too bad; just lots of sweeping. There's a Mexican guy who does some of the other neighbors' yards who told me he'd maintain it all for 80 bucks a month so I might look into that.

Congrats man. It's going to be a while before I buy a house. I need to figure out if I'm going to stay someplace for more then just 3 or 4 years.

Is it still as exciting as it was originally, or has the shine worn off?

They work really well when you burn the shit out of something in the kitchen.

There is always something to do...if you want. That is a bonus.

You never need to get bored, you only improve your investment, and it is gratifying to see your own handiwork.
Every new change seems like it belongs in Better Homes and Gardens, even after installing new door knobs~!

Hope you are satisfied with your new home.
