22. Name house
23.Make list of small repairs, put in box and at least one other place where you can easily access and strike things off over the next 6-months. (And then after that there will be MORE small repairs. And more. And more.)
24.Re-read mortgage paperwork + how-to booklet
25.Check on Home Depot credit cards, terms, no-interest periods, generic credit card vs store card only? (store only would be preferable)
