'You will NEVER complete a project with a single visit to a home store': Homeowner shares the unfortunate 'unwritten rules' of house ownership that no one talks about

Homeowners had some sage advice to offer to the Reddit community about what it's like dealing with nosy neighbors, property issues, and going to the hardware store 857 times for a single project. For many people, switching from renting to owning a home can seem like a major upgrade. You have more space, maybe you have a lawn and some friendly neighbors, and you can have parties and barbecues whenever you feel like it.

What's the catch? Well, owning a home means you have to care for the house in all sorts of ways. One Redditor shared their great advice under the question "What unwritten rules do you learn only AFTER becoming a home owner?" From the replies, it's clear that home ownership isn't always all it's cracked up to be.

From there, check out this article about a Karen and her kiddies who demanded access to a hotel pool, ignoring the rules the whole time.
