Must have list for house

I'm just crunching numbers and figuringing out extra costs we have no yet anticipated

What kinds of things do I need to buy when moving into my first house???
We already have furniture and linens and such from our apt. I've already thought of:

~fire extinguisher
~smoke/co2 alarms
~rake
~lawn mower
~shed

Anything else Im forgetting?

Re: Must have list for house

We had our house built and did not take much from NY. We were very lucky and received a lot of great stuff at my bridal shower and things like smoke detector and CO2 detector were included in the building of the house.

Some of the stuff on our list to get:
furniture
ceiling fans
patio set
BBQ
hose and hose holder thing
lawn mower
rake
weed wacker
red ant killer stuff for lawn
cleaning supplies
storage racks/shelves for garage
tools
tool chest/storage
lamps
fire extinguisher
garbage can for the kitchen
plunger
shovel
telephone (cordless and regular land line)
mop
ironing board
light bulbs
emergency kit
safe
laundry basket
flashlights

I am sure their were other stuff we had on our list I just cant remember right now
