8. Heating/air conditioning bills are high when you have one thermostat for a two story house

9. Cheap towel bars do not stay in the wall very well

10. Neighbors are not very considerate when they play in your yard (and hit your house) and let their dogs do business in your yard (and not clean it up)

11. Some people make fun of you when you pay your bills early, rather than on time (ironic huh?)

12. It's really fun to open all the windows in your house!! (with no a/c on)
