Since buying this house in 2021, we’ve repaved the driveway, installed sump pumps in the basement, replaced the boilers, and now we’re replacing the chimney. Roof is next. Then maybe mini-splits. It’s a money pit, as they say.

Born and raised in Westford, VT. Hartford now. 

I am in my 16th year of writing a Song A Day.

I've always been a bit keener on condos for this reason. Yes there's an HOA fee, and capital appreciation is lower, but the overhead is minimal and predictable
