Moving away from our house is very emotional for us. We've put so much time, money and personalized decoration into it that it has truly been our home for almost 7 years now. There are a lot of things about it that we'll miss. However, to try to make leaving it more bearable, we've decided to focus on some of the negatives about it we'll be leaving behind and not have to deal with anymore.
The squeaky hardwood floors.
Our wet basement that's good for storage only when lifted off the ground by a crate.
The antiquated two pipe forced steam radiator heating system that only plumbers over 100 years of age (IE none) actually know how to work on properly.
The garage that was built for a 1926 size car and hasn't fit one it in since.
Being extremely close to neighbors (not that I have anything against our current ones but a little more privacy will be nice).
Window A\C units. The invention of central A\C is truly glorious.
Not having electrical outlets on every wall. Even with our multiple renovations, there was still 1 or two walls in the house where a plug was always needed and didn't exist.
Having only 1 full bathroom that's pretty small. It can be pretty cramped with all 3 of us in there in the mornings.
The drama that goes along with prepping it for sale.
The drama that goes along with selling it.
The drama that goes along with moving out of it.
Our new house is also a very young house and won't come with the set of problems that an old one does. While I'm not ignorant to the fact that I'm sure we'll inherit new problems, it will be nice to leave these old problems of our old house behind.
