This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

When we bought our first home, I wish that we had created a by kellykapowski

Spreadsheet based on age of the house with useful life components for all items plus dates that items need routine maintenance. Something similar to a maintenance handbook that comes with a car. Also, I wish I had some sort of manual that gives easy descriptions of what to look for that could be a problem. For example, we have termites in our front door. Had I known what termite frass looks like or what termite damage in what was once solid wood, I would have discovered the problem far sooner.
