The Barn = headache

I know no one wants to hear someone complain...but this is just to vent
Oh this barn...how I hate you.  It has some good points, and the nature around is cool, but the bad points are really starting to outway the good points.  Ever since we moved here it just seems like one thing after another
When we first got here, we couldn't even move right in cause it was unliveable.  We lived with Matt's dad for a while.  Than we cleaned it up best we could....Ya see, it was empty for years and the guy who lived here before us was a slob! Let his cat "mark" all the walls and not clean it, would let spills sit, and has random holes in the ceiling like he was hanging stuff there.  Than we had to catch all the mice and kill all the spiders who had moved in.  Get out the old furniture and move ours in.  There was no water, and no one could figure out how to turn it on to our house, so we had to stay with Matt's dad a little longer.  Finally the water got fixed, but they had turned on the water heater with no water...resulting in a burnt out element in it.  So no hot water...had to shower at his mom's house for like a month.  Also upon moving in we learned the hall light didn't work (the wiring, cause we tried changing the bulb)
A while down the road, the roof started to leak...right in the rainy season...in a lot of spots.  Ruined a couple pictures I had in the window and there is permanate water stains I've tried to clean.  Had to redo the roof (in a very half-assed way). 
Some time after that our shower broke in the oddest way.  No matter which way we turned the nob, the water wouldn't turn off.  We had to switch the nobs so they are backwards now. 
Then we got infested with ants
Water was off again for some reason
Heating element in the oven burnt out...that was another $80 plus shipping since we could only order it online.
More mice and a couple lizards to catch
One of the kitchen light bulbs goes out...we can't get into the fixture to change it.
TONS more spiders and bugs to kill
Heater won't work, had to fix that
Discovered we couldn't have both the upstairs and downstairs window units on at the same time
Shower won't turn off again
Water off again
Fixed water (2 weeks later) and then we lose our water pressure
Some how that fixes, than the washing machine water filter is clogged and we can't get to it, so water barely runs into the washer
Pipe breaks down the water line..fix that just to have it break in a different spot.  Apparently all new piping needs to be run..that's only like $3,000....
oh! And the backdoor lock broke...in the lock position....
Now given...this has all happened on a span of almost 4 years, and we have fixed a lot of them the best we can but that's not even all the little stuff.  Add in:
No shelving minus the bottom of the cabinet
Hole in the bathroom wall
Holes above the window units
Hole in the closet I'm pretty sure
The river of mud that is the driveway any time it rains
Not being able to take out the trash except on trash day cause of the animals...and hoping you don't miss the trash man since he NEVER comes at the same time
Washing machine being a walk down to Matt's mom's house
The side of the barn curling up
Round ceiling
The worry of running into (or more so Mia running into) rattlesnakes, coyotes, bears, and the mountain lion
Dirt driveway...even when it's not raining it's a pain!
Can't even go for a walk without having to mountain climb cause we're so far up the mountain.
NO space whatsoever...the closet is like overflowing...and we really don't have that much stuff
I could go on and on but I'll stop
It's just sooo frustrating.  But hey, I try to put on a happy face and just pray for the day we can get out of here to come asap ;)
To break the bad mood...a picture!
