There was no phrase uttered more often by anyone who saw our house when we first brought it. There were bits missing from the inside; there were bits missing from the outside; oh and there's no backyard.
That's not to say it didn't have a backyard - it was just missing. We had just purchased the most expensive natural rock garden in town!
And while we focused on fixing the inside bits and the outside bits of the house, our imitation viking cemetery of a backyard sat, mocking us.
After almost a year, most of the house was fixed. Truthfully the house has just lured us into a false sense of security by becoming our own personal example of quantum entanglement. We have discovered that our house lives in this acceptable state of simultaneously being fixed and needing something else fixed. That's right: Our house is Schrödinger's cat. If you think everything is fixed, it is merely because you haven't yet discovered the other thing that is broken yet.
Not seeing the next broken thing on the house for all of two minutes, we quickly decided to start on the backyard.
