[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I aimed low in what we could buy, so we could afford to fix up many of the annoyances. We moved out generator from our old house and put in new ceiling light fixtures through out the house, a new roof/gutter guards, a beefed-up alarm system, a ceiling fan in the bathroom (that only ran us $1,000), HVAC ductwork through the rest of the basement, fixed a few things that were broken -- basically, we were able to fix *everything* listed on the home inspector's report and include a few things we wanted to have.

Two major peeves that I figure we'll get to in the next five years...
* The basement seems to have a problem heating up. I'm not sure if the furnace just isn't able to pump hot air through the entire house, if the hot air gets sucked back up the ceiling HVAC outlet, or what. Fortunately, there are baseboard heaters throughout the basement so we can just heat up the room we're in. 
* The backyard is graded so that drainage from our neighbors' sump pumps/backyards ends up in our backyard. Between March-May and October-November, the otherwise usable backyard becomes unusable unless it's been over 50 and not raining for a few days (Sunday she was able to play). During the summer, though, everything dries up often enough that it's not a problem, and (most fortunately) the house itself is not affected.

But first on our list is getting a deck table and some deck chairs to supplement the Adirondack chairs and old deck chairs we do have -- as we're guaranteed that for X hundred dollars, we'll get patio furniture that'll let us have breakfast outside, etc., etc., as opposed to the potential money holes the other two are.
