For the most part, owning a house has its merits. We all know what they are.
What you need to prepare for, are the situations which create the feeling of impending doom.
Here is a brief list of problems I have had the last week or so.
1. Massive rainstorm in the Los Angeles area which created mudslides, flooded roads and falling trees.
I was stranded in my abode as the road was not passable. I live in a canyon with only one way in and one out. Great spot to live if all things are working.
2. Lock on my kitchen door did not work properly. Needed replacement.
3. Gas smell, which I did not actually smell but a friend of mine did. Called the gas company to have a tech. check it out. All was good.
4. Needed to replace a faucet in my kitchen sink. Old one ( not that old) did not work and was leaking.
5. Garbage disposal was feeling cranky. PLumber came to check it out and he said nothing was wrong with it. I am not sure of that.
6.Fence around the house has two doors. The door gate was jammed and would not open.
I needed to cut down several branches that somehow caused the door not to close but after doing that, I discovered several of the door boards were damaged due to the pressure of the branches.
7. For now that’s enough.]
