My dad has any necessary tools to borrow for maintenance. We arent married presently, sure, but I foresee a long future together call me optimistic, at least shes got a ring on her finger. Weve lived together for 2.5 years so that isnt an issue.We live in a town we plan to stay at where both our families live.

I feel Ive learned a great deal.  <response>: As someone who has recently gotten the keys to my home Im a year in on a fixer upper its a lifestyle 180. At 23 Im 27 so not too far ahead I used to value getting out of work on Friday, packing up the dogs and going on camping weekends, hiking trips, low key weekends visiting friends out of town, getting brunchdinner and otherwise being pretty care free. Now as a homeowner I have a yard to mow, leaves to rake, snow to shovel, interiorexterior painting, landscaping, interior renovations. Dont get me wrong. I think to myself at least 3x a week I love my house but its a very distinct shift in lifestyle that you just should be ready for. Im the project type so before hte house it was cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles and this is a good avenue for my energy but I can certainly understand for some people at some ages it can be more than they expect.
