Home ownership

I love owning my own home.  I love that I can paint my house whatever color I feel like (I hate white walls) I can take out or add things; I completely gutted my kitchen this summer and built a new one that I am in love with.  I have a huge yard for my girls to play in, there are no downstairs neighbors that will be annoyed by the girls running and jumping around the house.  It is wonderful.  However there is the maintenance that a home requires (no more landscapers to mow the grass and trim the trees) and then when a problem pops up it can cost big bucks.  I am fairly handy around the house, I did after all remodel my entire kitchen by myself, but when it comes to things like electricity well....I'm at a total loss.  So last night when I went into my bathroom and flipped on the light and nothing happened, I was a tad worried but figured it was waaay too late to worry about it I'd get to it in the morning.  So this morning, still no light, I popped the little test switch on the outlet,  no luck.  I checked the outlets they are still working, as is the fan...hmmmmm.  What are the odds all 4 light bulbs would burn out at the same time?  Slim to none but still I get a new bulb just to see, no dice.  I head out to the fuse box flip the switch, even try the master switch.  To no avail.  And there ends my experience in electric work. Maybe I only like owning my own home....
