10. The exterminator had dollar signs in his eyes when he gave a quote for termite barrier protection.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 This project, like all home repairs, will cost more than expected. See #10 to learn why.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Someone sweeps up tracked in dirt several times a day. That someone is not the same person who tracks in the dirt.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 The heavy duty cycle on the washing machine is seeing heavy use.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 We prefer to think of the dirt piles around the house as creative landscaping.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 A trench where flowerbeds used to live means much less summer weeding.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 From the waist up, the Man of Steel is now very tan. Yes, that includes the top of his head.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 The basement feels drier already.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The adults in the house stay alert when the 16-month-old is outdoors because large holes and towering dirt piles are kid magnets.<\/p>\n
