Thank you! Your experience sounds a lot like what I'm picturing for myself for moving to a house from a condo. I'm definitely imagining things I'd like to do to my own home, and while I'm not the handiest person in the world, I'm willing to learn and try.

    Being physically separated from neighbors turns out to mean a lot more than I thought it would (e.g. loud music at night, not being careful and conscious all the time, etc.). That the best thing.

And thank you for this. It isn't that I have any actual problem with my neighbors, but I think I'd enjoy the separation. If you did, I probably will, too. It's even the little things like flushing the toilet at 3 am. It sounds mentally easier to not have to think about it.
