I'm officially an adult now...

[Fumz]

My wife and I just bought a house... our first. :shock:

The last two months have been a whirlwind. I'm still shocked at how fast the whole process went: ~ 2 months from first seeing the house to moving in and renovating.

The downside is I haven't had a chance to play with my computers; however, I am collecting neat new power tools and other toys that go with houses. So far, my best toy is a 6 burner Bertazzoni professional that arrives tomorrow. Of course, there's a man cave, renovations are underway as we speak, which is gonna be neat... I'm not sure what about it I'm more excited about: having a dedicated game room, or the fact that the lower level is X degrees cooler than the upstairs; thus, my cpu temps are going to drop... lol.

Congrats! With the way real estate is so depressed in Calif nowadays, it's probably a good time to buy. Hope this is the bottom of the slump and you don't end up underwater!

My wife and I bought out first house about this time of year in 1977, took my entire monthly paycheck to make the monthly mortgage payment. Ah yes, the good ol' days.

I had been an apartment dweller for most of my life until me and the little lady bought a house 12 years ago. I suddenly had to become a Handy Man and fix things. You will also and you will quickly find out that you will spend your weekends at Home Depot.

When I first saw the title of the thread I thought you were going to tell us you'd turned 18 so could class yourself as an adult :roflmao:
All the best with the new purchase and hope you have many happy years there.
