    “When you first move into a house dont make any improvements for at least 6 months.”

    I now see that its Terrible advice.

      Don’t make any improvements is a crazy proposition. But I agree with living in the place 6 months before doing anything drastic unless it is obvious. I live in a very old house. It took us a while to see the reasoning behind some of the features in our house. We were tempted to scrap anything that wasn’t typical in new constructions, but that would have been a waste of money.

      I was happy saving up for a few months and observing the house to see where my money was best spent.
