I lived in apartments for most of my adult life. It's taken a while but now that I'm getting the hang of things, I want to fix this house up, sell it, and move to a MUCH smaller house with a MUCH smaller yard.

Since I retired, I realize that I have no idea how I juggled a full time job, and taking care of elderly and ill family members, AND keeping up on the yard and house maintenance, here. I must have been some sort of Wonder Woman.
