In the UK lawn services are fairly rare and anyway, we have a lot less space than you guys – it’s a small country with a lot of people squeezed into it!

You see, when I was a kid, I hated mowing the lawn. There were few things that I despised more. I was always getting in trouble with my parents for procrastinating when they wanted me to cut the grass. And while I still wouldn’t call it “fun”, I did get a certain sense of satisfaction when I finished cutting my lawn

I’ll be doing all sorts of other homeownery things soon. Not long after we moved in, I tripped on the stairs and put a hole in the drywall with my back. Plus, the water feed to the icemaker in our (new) fridge leaks at the valve. So I need to fix that so that we can get rid of the ice cube trays. And the previous owners left all sorts of nails and molly bolts in the walls that we eventually plan to remove and patch up. And we need to replace one of the toilet seats, install some towel racks, pound in some nails on the deck stairs, and do a few other minor things.

That is when I started feeling like a homeowner, I cut the grass at all my previous rental properties, but I never had to “fix” stuff.
