Wouldn't you know it, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong, and at the most impossible time. 2 years ago, it was my ovens that konked out with 2/3 of Minnesota scheduled to arrive in minutes. This year, it is the washing machine that died, mid-cycle, and was holding my clothes hostage for a while. (Luckily for me, and for my clothes, the nice gal on the other line at Sears seemed to know the magic sequence for unlocking the door)
Add to that: No sooner do we get the newly re-plastered pool filled with
a small lake's worth gallons and gallons of water, do we realize that the electric motor that runs the filer is kaput. As in, sparking-making-noises-that-frighten-children-with-plumes-of-smoke kind of kaput. The good news? We can get a rebuilt one. The bad news? We still have to pay for it.
Add to that: a roof that leaks, that causes the drywall on the ceiling to stain and begin to fall down. Oh, and that makes the windows look as though a large sneeze will dislodge them from their sill.
I am sure there are other maladies that I can pile on here, but I think I'm exhausted enough just going over these.
In theory, we are supposed to put this
money pit house on the market March 1st. At this point, I don't think it is very likely we will make that deadline.
Anyone know how to replace a roof?
