Current list of things broken in my house:

• Water pipe inside slab (repaired)
• Drywall and paint damaged by flood (repaired)
• Vanity in bathroom destroyed
• Carpet in hallway, living room, one bedroom destroyed
• Thermostat for heater working only intermittently status post handyman “looking at it”. (new one just installed)
• Forced-air natural gas heater dead even when started manually; fan motor broken; entire heater needs replacement. (Heater may be as much as 40 years old.) (installed as of this moment)
• Front door deadbolt won’t close status post handyman “fixing” doorknob/lock issues.
• Toilet flush mechanism does not stop unless you “do it right”.
• Cover on fluorescent light over kitchen counter falls off periodically with a loud bang.
• Slab under house is “efflorescing”, which will inevitably require slab replacement at some future date.
