Gold star for you. My house is nice; my yard is mediocre. I find meticulous lawn care creepy. People who devote that much time to grass, and the opinions of others regarding their grass, are socially imbalanced. If you're obsessing over the dry spots near the sycamore tree or weeding the border of the driveway and lawn every three days, you need to get a fucking social life.
My house is not meticulous inside. Its always a work in progress because my wife buys antiques and thats a catch-as-catch-can way to cobble together your interior. But I like the change and confusion of having different pieces moving from room to room all the time as she gets new stuff. Gives the place some soul. When I get it finished, I'll get a cleaning lady. The last thing on earth I want to find myself bragging about is how sparkling I got the interior of my own home. Thats like bragging about how great a job you did waxing your own car.
