Ideal Bite

After years and years of thinking about it, I finally own a home.  Of course, I could go on and on about the joys of homeownership, but that's been done (and overdone).  What I didn't quite expect was the mad panic of owning a place... Now, instead of calling my landlord in the event of an annoyance, I have to think about things like:

1.  Where on earth is the water main?

2.  Why does the floor make that noise in that place when I step on it?  Is the house caving in?

3.  Where is that bloody draft coming from?

It's the latter that is most distressing... Fortunately, my realtor (Chris Bartle from Green Key Real Estate in SF) is getting me a "Green Up" from Sustainable Spaces as a housewarming gift.  These guys will come into your place, check out all your duct work (not as racy as it sounds) and windows and systems, and give a top to bottom recommendation for how to green your home.
