Two Requirements. Built after 1990. Previous owners agree to be interviewed. We had another huge weekend (a few weekends ago; it just took me this long to get over it and be able to write about it) … but not without its troubles, to say the LEAST.  (I’m exaggerating though, in the scheme of things that have … More We might be buying a new house.
