Ha! Welcome to the Club!
We bought this house on the basis that it needed
NOTHING doing to it so I've done almost nothing, apart from:
o re-roofing the garage,
o building a lean-to,
o installing a rainwater recovery system,
o re-piping the house to accommodate the above rainwater system,
o erecting a shed,
o building a conservatory,
o re-wiring the house to include the conservatory,
o hacking a hole in the back wall to install a door to the new conservatory,
o installing a wall and door to allow access to the new conservatory without passing through the bedroom.
I must have missed out a few minor jobs as this is only in the last six years and we have spent about six months a year away from home during this time ...
... and all SWMBO will tell you is that all I do is hang around the house wasting my time brewing!
