Every drop of water, crack, ant, royally freaks me out at this point. I can't afford to rent. I own a shitty house that is a fixer upper. So frustrating.

I know it is cheesy, but look at every maintenance project as an opportunity for learning a new DIY skill.

Start going to garage sales and flea markets to collect tools.

It helps if you can chitchat with someone IRL about mutual homeowner issues.

Homeownership is man's continuous battle against water.

I agree so much with the water thing. I spent two days on reshaping my yard
