Honestly that's what terrifies me about owning a house,, particularly an older house with some acreage. My sister and brother in law are doing a remodel now and that's what they do every weekend. I like to get out and do things or even just chill in my backyard. The last thing I want to be doing every weekend is home maintenance and projects.
I am not knocking anyone who does this but it scares me because I don't want to have to do this stuff every weekend. @MaineSkiLady You guys bust your buts all summer long and I admire you guys. My coworker said the best "diet/workout" is buy a house because you have to work on it and do stuff. At least you get to "relax" when winter comes . Your reward is you get to live where you do and ski in an awesome place like Sunday River with other places not far away.
I guess I am feeling selfish because I want to ski all winter and play all summer and not have to do house stuff. I am sure the day will come when DH retires and we move somewhere and buy something but I am still scared of the sacrifices of our time.
