Default help with things needed for the home

As a single woman, new to TV, I am finding it difficult to know what to do and what needs to be done with the house.

I can't be the only one with this problem. What have others done? Please tell me some of the problems you have had and how you dealt with them?

Every time I find something that I should be doing, I don't know where to turn. If I get advice, most times I don't even know what they are talking about or how to go about getting it done. For instance, there are all kinds of gadgets on the outside of my house, I have no clue what some of them are or what I should do with/to them, if anything. I figured out one of them is the dryer vent and was told I should clean it out, how? Another post said something about checking up on the roof, how important is this? I am not about to be climbing up on the roof anytime soon. There is this little camera looking think on the side of the roof, what is it and do I need to check it?

I guess I could call a handyman, but how does that work, every time I have one little issue or question do I just call him to come over for a 15 minute advice job? Big jobs, like hanging pictures, I understand, but not the 100+ questions I have every day about one thing or another.

I'm having second thoughts about buying a house as a single woman, (I have no family in the area). I think I should have gone with a Condo.

Appreciate your advice. cm
