People do forget this. There will plenty to do even if you hire 
EVERYTHING done by professionals. It is a lot of work and hiring out 
the big things allows you to focus on stuff like landscaping that you 
can do much better and with more love than any landscaper a developer 
could hire.

Put your energy where you can make a difference. Get moved in, with a 
commonhouse.
