I'm back after a big 3 day without internet. I'M back and in brand new house. In fact, it,s my first house. It's really weird and I just can't realise that ut's MY house, my brand new home. WE didn't finish unpacking yet, but I have a week off, so I have some times.
We have some furniture to buy, but there is not much to do.

I was wondering how it was when you just move on to your first house. How did you felt the first day? How long did it take you before you really realise you were there?

Congratulations, it is great the first time you get your own place. My son has just gone off to University and was thrilled to think he had his own new address. We have not moved very often but I still sometimes get confused and think some things are stored in a particular cupboard but that one belongs to our old house!!! When forgetting to take a turn to drop a friend off once my dad said 'the car drives itself home'. Take care to remember the way to your new house when you are tired or not concentrating properly. Best wishes.

Boy ain't it nice to own your own home. Feels so good to say this is my home. You will enjoy this time so much more cause it is all yours.When we brought this land we was still in Nevada so we didn't actually get to see it for a few months. But when we got here even the dump of a house looked good to me cause it was all mine (ours). We stayed in that house for a few months while we built this one.One door on the front no windows roof caving in one floor good back room was falling off the foundation. Honey fixed that though the picture below is it...lol.. We had to clear off the two acres where we built the house first. We got the sub floor down the walls up the roof on. As soon as we finished nailing the last shingle I told honey I am moving into that house today and all the stuff with me and he could stay in the old house or move in with me. So by mid afternoon we had stove,frig,tv, bed and all the important stuff in the house. First night in our new home felt like a million to me. Money well spent on this land. A week later had the computer up and running. Wish I had found my lot then. But later is better then never. Wish you all the luck in your new home.Hope you have a great day/evening.


Old house!!

We bought out first house in 1982 our son was one and out daughter was four. The thing I remember the most we signing all the escrow papers. I nearly passed out. I was about to have an axiety attack. I realized if somthing went wrong with the house we did not have a landlord to call and had to fix ourselves, we where the landlords.
It took me weeks to get moved in. I had no help from my husband who worked all the time. Trying to unpack with two little children was a chore.
The first thing we changed was; I had my husband put a clothes line in the back yard. I was washing diapers. I love to sun dry my clothes. We live in sunny California.
Now we have our second home. The signing of the paperwork was not so hard. I now have painted one room and am thinking of painting one of the bathrooms. It is just my husband and I, our children are 29 and 26 and living on there own.
We have a swimming pool and a nice groomed yard with automatic sprinkles in the front of the house. I spend most of my summer out on the patio or in the pool. I have already started on my tan, just by doing a little yard work. I just putts, we have a gradner who mowes and weeds.

Just stop by to tell you congratulations.
So how does it feel being a new home owner?


myLot reputation of 97/100. beyonce03 (1871)   ranked 46 out of 348 in house  3 years ago

I don't know why, but for the moment, I still don't realise it.
But I'M happy that I don't have someone walking over my head anymore lol

beyonce, i guess you just feel weird being on your own. that's how it always is during the first few days or weeks. but you'll surely get used to it.
