Home ownership is a real life change and ultimately a pleasure. You make it your own and sometimes create something that the next owner will love as well. (We are on our third home in about 40 years.) Enjoy the challenge. Seems to me making a house a home is much like creating Autumn Splendor. The making just lasts longer. My bit of advice---I expect you know that the inspector doesn't find every problem. And that the seller's disclosure sometimes isn't complete. For example, the tile under the carpet in the house we bought in 1997 was a 5% asbestos tile. We're in the process of taking it up so that we can sell the house with a clear conscience. Look, ask questions, learn. Congratulations on the house! Home ownership is a real life change and ultimately a pleasure.
