Be patient with the house, darlin'. You know how a cat hisses at a new arrival, then ignores it, then accepts it, then takes naps with it? You're the new cat. Or perhaps the problem(s) make the house like the cat that bites you because it's hurt. 'Course, it's hard to bundle the house off to the vet... still the house will realize that you'e trying to cure its ills. Best of luck.
