[quote=Anonymous]We moved into our new house 25 years ago.  We have done the following upgrades, remediation, repairs
- replaced all the windows, new doors (French doors need replacing)
- French drain
- Grading
- Multiple attempts to reseed a lawn that is weedy. Eventually, we have gone "natural" and added clover. We just mow it down.
- new roof (after multiple patches)
- New appliances over the year and new HVAC and water heater
- Updated the bathrooms (tiles, toilets, vanity, lights)
- Added solar attic fans
- Added a patio
- Added industrial exhaust
- Changed all lights and added more lights
- added closets fittings
- New garage doors and openers
- New gutters
- Changed the outdoor trims
- Got solar panels
- Got garage  painted and had EV charger fixed
- House painted
- Replaced all floors 
- Got basement finished
- Got insulation added to the attic
- Had to fight squirrels and put squirrel guard around the panels

The thing is that a house maintenance is a lot of continuous work, even in a new house.  Despite our best efforts, we have had leaks, pests, decay.  When we leave for vacations, we always come back to a house that smells weird unless you air it out.

We have probably easily put in around 200K worth of work in the house  over the years.
