Just bought my first home and feel completely lost
Closed on my first place two weeks ago and realized I don't know literally anything about the basics. My dad keeps saying the first thing to learn is how to locate main water shutoff before anything goes wrong. Walked around the whole property and still can't find it. Any tips from experienced homeowners here?

Congrats on the place!! Your dad is 100% right btw — learned that the hard way myself lol. First month in my house a pipe fitting under the sink just... let go at 11pm. Full panic mode, water everywhere, and I'm running around like an idiot with no clue where to shut anything off. Usually it's near the water meter, basement, or outside by the foundation — depends on your home's age and region. This walkthrough helped me finally find mine: finding your home water shut off valve .Bookmark it, seriously. Future you will be grateful.
