The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
In the past week we've had the following go wrong;
Kids' ceiling fan light stopped working (it's not the bulbs) one of the bathroom fans stopped working doorbell stopped working kitchen sink having hot water issues one of our front living room windows cracked
I know this is all relatively minor, but stuff adds up as far as the money. Other than the window, this is all stuff I will fix myself, but goodbye weekend!
Home ownership is fun!
Rodents chewing electrical wires?
I don't think so. The fan in the bathroom still runs but sounds like the motor is going out so it just needs replaced. The fan on the ceiling fan works, just not the light part of it, so who knows. Also, I hate doorbells anyway so I may not even try to fix that.

I just noticed two squirrels building a fucking nest in our attic fan escape on our roof. Our roof is incredibly steep, and the escape is on the top part of the roof (of a two-story house). The service call = $95. Setting the traps = $125. Retrieving the dead squirrels = $90. And sealing the escape = $225. $500 later, the squirrel problem is "solved."

Getting 18 new windows installed next Friday. Should help a lot with utility costs and general attractiveness of the house.
Now that's how you do home improvements. I have way better/funner things to do with my time than home improvements. But then again I live in a condo because I can't stand the thought of yard work either.
