Day 53: Thanks for the advice

Thanks to this blog, I’ve gotten a lot of helpful tips throughout this house hunt. Friends and acquaintances share their own homeowner experiences and cautionary words of wisdom. It appears my house hunt of 80 plus isn’t too unusual. Turns out a few Facebook friends are in the home-improvement or real-estate industry. I’ve learned a lot of things I’d otherwise be clueless about.

For instance, icicles are a sign of inadequate attic insulation. Heat rises, and without proper insulation, it escapes through the roof, melting the snow and forming icicles. Icicles may be pretty, but increased heating costs aren’t.

Thanks to everyone who’s taught me a thing or two about house hunting. Any gardeners out there? I want to plant a vegetable garden!
