Congratulations to the OP!
Welcome to Home Depot.
And get the card, you’ll need it
This is excellent advice. Just to expand on it, start compiling a house manual now. I just had to replace the ceramic cartridges (not washers) in a monobloc mixer tap, just like I did six or seven years ago. What could I remember about it? Nothing - not a thing. Had to start from scratch. This time I wrote down the tap name, part numbers, supplier etc; made notes and photographed the process.
Everything you have to do, you will eventually forget how you did it and why. Make notes.

This, and the post you quoted, sound pretty seriously wise.
I have two weeks until movers come. There is so. Much. To. Do.
But we have decided to be a little relaxed about it. We will do as much as we can before the move.
We do now own a rake and a ladder, and I think I decided that I have too much of a problem with heights to clean my own rain gutters so we are going to hire a guy at least for this year.
I need to figure out if the lawn mower they left works, but I think that can wait until spring.
I keep a folder in which I store the receipts for all hired home repair, and I write notes on the receipts, so that the next time I need, say, an electrician, I can easily determine who I used last time and whether or not I want to use them again.
I also have a box into which I toss product manuals, receipts, etc., – anything relating to the house that I might need later. Put dates on manuals/receipts because it’s likely that you’ll later need to remember when, e.g., you replaced the water heater.
You can even put the folder in the box.
I don’t to heights and I used to stand by when my husband cleaned the gutters, ready to call 9-1-1. Then about 3 years ago after yet another spinal surgery, he allowed me to hire someone to do the gutters.
BEST $110 we spent!
I’d gotten a couple of quotes for gutter guards, but I figured for what those would cost, we could hire someone twice a year for at least 15 years. Plus the gutter guys use a blower to clean off the entire roof and deck. They are among my favoritest people!!!
I never had any of those issues with my home warranty company. I kept the warranty after the free year expired. $55 a month, $65 for every service call. Man did that warranty save my ass several times. While I was in that house, it replaced both water heaters, the dishwasher, the glass top range, a toilet, an a/c compressor and fixed a massive leak in the basement plumbing.
Ironically, I not long ago got out of the house as I could no longer afford the mortgage because I was ill and didn’t work. And now I live in an apartment with my sons and don’t have to worry about fixing anything.
I was not familiar with that word, so I looked it up. Surprise 
convection ovens work by forced convection! (Also known as fan-forced ovens).
Even more interesting, it gives a justification for people who have always thought that other non-standard ovens are “better” than standard (radiant element) ovens. “Other” ovens are various wood-fired, coal-fired, coke-fired ovens.
Follow What Exit?'s advice here. Treating every two to three years keeps it beautiful. But also, shovel snow off it in winter. The weight of the snow can be bad, and the sitting water and freeze/thaw cycles are very hard on the deck.
Don’t rush into purchases for your home unless they are very, very cheap. Take the time to figure out what works best for you before you buy. I recently downsized to a condo and am driving my “get 'er done” friends nuts but I still haven’t found the dining room light fixture I want. I’ll know it when I see it. In the meantime, the ugly old one still works.
