Topic: Tales From the Road

We have been living in the house for 11 weeks now, and since my parents have gone home after visiting for a month, we are finally settling into a routine schedule. We set last weekend aside to get some things done that we had been putting off to make it a little more comfortable.

Editor's Note: We've decided to launch a "spin-off" series of blog posts, following up on our popular Tales of a First-Time Homebuyer series written by our multi-talented commercial inspection report writer, Paul Picard. This will look at the process of selling and buying a home from the perspective of a family who has been through it several times before.

Sometimes what we don't know about an aspect of our home or how something works in our home can really complicate a situation. Knowledge really is power, and having it--especially when it comes to our home--can ultimately save money, time, and aggravation. I think everyone can relate to that. Has anyone ever gone ahead and began repairing something in your home or making a decision about something, only in hindsight to realize that you should have read up on it first? Or worse, that you did the complete opposite of what you now know was right--yikes! We've all been there.
