We bought our house brand-spanking new. You would think that this means it is in pristine order and little will go wrong, right? Oh no. We've lived here 3.5 years (since August 1999) and it looks like most of our bathroom grout, the toilet seals, and even the grout that connects the kitchen counter to the wall all need to be replaced. Our carpet needs serious shampooing (or replaing with laminate wood floors, but that's way beyond our price range). There are dents and dings at the corners of our walls in places. Our yard is a disaster still. And we still have an ant problem. I didn't expect this to be a dream home, but I did expect it to hold up at least this long!!
