Louisa - you'll see later, once your appliance and plumbing is fixed..you and hubby will be glad to have do maintenance on hand, especially physical stuff.
I'm not surprised about the piping..that has to go through condo strata.
Di- if your hubby does woodworking and hobbies like that you want to ensure in future he has on-site facilities for that. I did in my previous condo building.

Summers are brutal in the Gulf Coast part of the south...humidity that will soak you to the bone after ten seconds of walking outside. Then there's the flies...deer fly, yellow fly and another one I can't think of at the moment...but, it also bites the heck out of you. I swear one year I took netting and attached it to a straw hat and draped it all the way down my body to keep the flies away from me so I could walk down to the mail box and back without getting eaten alive...it's miserable...so, once it gets to this point I just stay indoors and watch the electric meter spin like crazy. Spring is the best time where I live...summer's suck! Then there's the hurricane season...June through Nov 15th...during the storms, the electric meter is given a break and nothing electrical works so Larry will crank up the generator and as the little window AC unit brought in from the garage does its thing, I sit with my face smack in front of it trying to keep cool. Okay...someone please explain to me why the heck I live down here? Sheesh!

I spring/fall clean some; stuff I don't use, I give to the Good Will. WB already replaced seven house windows and has six more to replace. He shampoos the rugs throughout, too. I take my time cleaning closets and dressers, etc. We have air conditioning in our bedroom only. I ask myself, in the wintertime, why I live here. Otherwise I love it. There isn't much WB can't repair, and I'm thankful. Never heard of upside down plant holders. I've heard of upside down trees, but that's all. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't like housework. Don't do any canning, anymore. Did once. No more.
