Been in our new house coming up on two weeks now. (Our first house, an
early '50's ranch on a slab.) So far, an unexpected plumbing repair has
cost $1200, and today's chimney inspection has revealed a problem with a
fix costing $1200. Lemme guess what the electrician is going to say on
Monday to upgrade the panel: $1200?! I need an aspirin.
