Yeah ours had a big branch break during the last hurricane. So our expenses in the past week:

Pool re-lined
New pool pump motor
New timer/kill switch for pool pump
New pool light
Tree getting cut down
New complete breaker panel replacement for the house
Fill up a 30,000+ gallon pool. (We should get half of that first back from the water company)

Home ownership is a blast

The tree is coming down Thursday. Add a new relay box to our irrigation system, and we’re at about 12k. Guess i can’t buy bammer’s drum kit now

$1,400 to fix an emergency plumbing clog under my driveway on Saturday. Cool, cool.

On the other hand my patio heaters arrived.

It's raining and I just caught a leak right above my bathtub. I probably should have replaced my roof 3 years ago.

how have you found your irrigation system? worthwhile?

we have a system in the ground but never used it bc looked broken and i didnt want to test it / repair. then as i did various new projects we just ripped out plastic tubing as we came across it. but we still have the core plumbing setup in place. at some point down the road i might explore re-doing it, esp now that i have all these arborvitae i want to keep watered in the hot part of summer

So we have an irrigation system that gets water from a well. The whole neighborhood does. But the houses are all on city water. So it’s free irrigation and worth it. If it wasn’t free I’m not sure we’d have as lush of a garden lol. Over the years I’ve learned how to fix broken pipes in the ground, change and repair sprinkler heads, etc. but when it comes to the pump and electrical, we need to call someone. My wife has become a wizard adjusting the sprinklers distance and target areas.
