homeownership is often bullshit

[k2daisy]

Things that were broken/in the process of being repaired at my house this week:

1. Toilet
2. Boiler
3. Electrical outlet
4. Washing machine

I call bullshit.

Am also waiting on two more roofing estimates. I was expecting them last Friday, since I met both mid-week last week, but now it's Tuesday and nothing. I liked both of those companies best so I am disappointed they dropped the ball already. I had a 3rd company come out on Friday, and they sent their detailed estimate on Saturday afternoon.

Also bullshit.

I also need to do the last bits of fall gardening before the landscapers come in a few weeks to close out the gardens and lawn for the year. They are hard workers but not great at the detail work so I like to do that first. But I keep putting it off. Maybe this week.

That's my own bullshit. I'll own it.

Our house goes like that too, where every appliance breaks at once. We seem to be ok on that front (for now) but everything that needs to be wrapped up and stored sensibly is strewn over any and all flat surfaces. We look like we’ve been burgled.

I am sorry about all that, but your subject line made me laugh.

Every now and then I idly consider moving out of my apartment and into the house I actually own and then I think about challenges like this. Aiiee! Sympathies and I hope everything gets sorted.
