A place to keep Fistful ?   >:D

Why in Asgard would I want to KEEP Fistful?

Closing is done, have the keys, packing up the old place.

There is a spare apartment in the garage, so visitors are welcome.

Day I closed on my house was one of the weirdest days I've had but nice to say that I was now a home owner. =D

Outstanding.  Congrats, sir.  Enjoy your new home.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

One thing I have learned about owning homes and owning rental property is this:

Improperly-seated toilets are the highest ratio of (potential damage)/(cheap to fix).  If your toilet wiggles at all, pull it and reseat it properly.
Second-highest is probably basement drainage, a check-valve on your sump pump outlet line and a $10 watchdog water alarm from home depot
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I'd consider just replacing all the toilet wax rings anyways.  Get it done with.  
Water supply lines to the toilets, dishwasher, and reefer if so equipped.
All the above is half a day's work, tops.
Replace all the ac/furnace filters
consider having someone come out and clean the hvac ducts.  Couple hundred bucks usually but can improve the air quality in the house considerably.

Tools, etc?

Plumber's wrench
Ladder long enough to get you on the roof
medium step ladder for smaller in house chores
Chainsaw (since you have property with trees).  
Gas powered trimmer
Axe
handsaw
couple shovels.
couple folding sawhorses
wheelbarrow (Two wheeled ones are the bees knees)
Rakes (leaf rake and a metal mulch rake)
Buckets.  Several 5 gallon and maybe a few smaller ones
If you keep most of your tools in the garage, make a "house kit", small tool box with the basics for quick projects.

What kind of vehicle do you have?

has anyone warned informed the neighbors about their new neighbor ?
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Why would you do something like that.  It's more entertaining the let the neighbors find out naturally.  =D

Good point.  Can't hurt, certainly.


One thing I have learned about owning homes and owning rental property is this:

Improperly-seated toilets are the highest ratio of (potential damage)/(cheap to fix).  If your toilet wiggles at all, pull it and reseat it properly.
Second-highest is probably basement drainage, a check-valve on your sump pump outlet line and a $10 watchdog water alarm from home depot

No basement, unfortunately.  Single floor ranch style. 

Gotcha, reseat the seat. Will pick up a few basic plumbing books. Not planning on doing my own for anything major, but I want to know more than my limitations.  So I don't get ripped off, if nothing else.

consider having someone come out and clean the hvac ducts.  Couple hundred bucks usually but can improve the air quality in the house considerably.

Good points.  Check and replace water lines and filters, gotcha.

Will check into the ducts.

What kind of vehicle do you have?

Pretty much matches my list.  Tho I intend to get a cart in addition to a wheelbarrow. The property is on the side of a hill.  Pondering what to do with that.  Do want to clear a section of the high ground and make a small firepit.  Maybe eventually put a gazebo or very small pavilion up there.

Fortunately, re trees, my sister's boyfriend is in the tree business.  So likely kick him some loot for most of that sort of thing.  But a chainsaw is a handy thing.

Currently have a four door sedan.  Looking into used pickup truck in addition.

Pickup truck is nearly a must given what you've described as the property.  Another option is to go the SUV route, and then aquire a small trailer.  You can do everything with a solid 4x8 utility trailer that you can with a pickup, but you can't do everything with a pickup you can do in an SUV.

I have more experience than I ever want with a utility trailer attached to a HMMWV.  We hates backing up with the trailer, we hates it!
