New Homeowners

So Matt and I just bought our townhouse in June. We are still used to the apartment living where if you have a problem you just call the maintenance people and they will come and fix whatever for you. Well we cannot do that any more and have to take care of it ourselves. We also have to shovel our own snow and so forth. Well the snow fell this weekend with the hose, inflatable pool, grill, and a bucket still outside. They are now covered in snow. We also have been having problems with our furnace and don't know what to do. This are all things we did not think about when we wanted to buy a place. I guess it is a learning process that we have to go through. Hopefully next winter when that first storm comes we will be better prepared.
