Kat, My husband and I moved from IL to northeast TN in 2003. We had lived all our lives in the same area in IL and in the same house for 36 1/2 yrs. I think it took 10 yrs. off my life during that period of time moving!! We know how you feel because every time we turned around something was breaking or going wrong after moving in. We have found that here in northeast TN if you call someone to come to give you an estimate or to fix something they may come "sometime" or they just never show up!! We have also found that there are a lot of people out there that don't care how they do things. I guess we are to picky, but when you pay to have something done you would like to see a "neat" job done! It's been 4 yrs. now since we moved and I am still wore out and I am tired of "projects" to do. I am 65 and I find I don't have the "get-up-and-go" I did when I was younger!! Good luck on your cleaning up project. They say there is a light at the end of the tunnel (which I am still lookin' for!!) so hopefully next summer you can sit and enjoy your new place. I don't usually "write" much on this list, but I read it all the time and keep up with what everyone is talking about.
