What I've learned about homeownership....

Mar 17, 2004 09:36

Everything cost $500. Even if it initially does not seem that way. The gutters were going to be $110 to clean and fix, but then they found a hole in the roof that the home inspector missed because it was raining and the roof is steep so he inspectoed from the ground. Which is fine, and I'm glad we found it because that explains why the tiles fell off the shower downstairs and the wall had water damage.

Even if you do stuff yourself, like spread gravel over the driveway, its turns out to be $500. It is probably the most beautiful gravel drive in town though, mainly because all the other houses are paved, which I'm betting you can do for $500. The Lex Luthor stained glass window I want for the front door--if I'm lucky it'll be $500. I bought a toothbrush holder for the upstairs bathroom, $500. Well, I went for a toothbrush holder which lead to a laundry hamper and somehow plates ended up in the mix

Good news though--I'm getting satellite installed today--suppose to be $52, and DSL by Tuesday.

And one more thing---
Take the quiz: "Which American City Are You?"


New York
You're competative, you like to take it straight to the fight. You gotta have it all or die trying.

I'm living in the wrong city. Just like Brian Kinney.
