My sister reported her floor was wet this morning...



This will be the first test of a new home warranty- covers just about everything- they will repair or replace water heater for only an $85 deductible.

Made an appointment for tomorrow. We'll see. :shrug:

Good lord you have shitty luck with household shit.
I have to say after the 5th visit the AC is finally working well. We made it throgh that 100+ degree heatwave at a very comfortable 74 degrees. :beerchug:

Turns ot it wasn't a con-ed problem at all- or voltage is still around 110 and it's working fine.

Gas?

Could let loose in the middle of the night, flood house, blow up and destroy what's left... Sleep tight! :D

We put a water detector next to it- we should hear it if it floods.

Also it is right next to my sister's bedroom so she'd see/hear it overnight.

Yes, gas.

or the bottom drain could blow out due to a pilot light that turned into a torch. the tank will try to re-fill itself and the water just sprays onto the floor...

Sell your house for the million or whatever you can get for it out there and move somewhere cheap and new.

Will probably have to move one day... The disability I'm getting won't keep up with the bills and the $3800 /mo mortgage payment here. It will be a nightmare to move in my condition but probably will be only option. :(

I need somewhere cheap and not too far away. Maybe PA...

Would you be better off staying in NY with your issue?

That includes taxes and insurance. P&I is $3113.
I'm paid a healthy salary (probably the same as what you made when you were working)

And I myself cannot imagine paying that kind of mortgage :eek:

My total pmt is like $1200 (p/i, taxes and insurance)

You can't even rent a 1 bedroom apt for 1200 a month.
