1st Time Homeowner

I'm officially a homeowner now. It's kind of scary at time but I'm mostly loving every moment of it. Of course after only a week, what's not to love. I go swimming just about every day and I love eating outside in my screen porch. My puppy is still getting used to the new digs but he's coming around. I haven't run into too many homeowner "issues" just yet but there have been a couple of snags. Mostly just trying to learn how everything works. My first night I thought I didn't have power to the outlets in any of the bathrooms, only to learn later that there is a reset switch in the spare. For some reason even though the bathrooms are on the opposite sides of the house they are still controlled by the same reset switch. Weird.

I just learned how to work my sprinkler system last night and I still have to learn how to maintain my pool. I've heard that once you learn how it's not that difficult, it's just a process. Mostly I'm too excited about having my own home to think too much about all the other stuff.
