Yeah, just to check in every night and make sure you're tucked in safe and sound.

You mean this guy?

He's pretty much had a key to my apartment/house for as long as I've known him.  Like 9 years now.  (He also has a girlfriend.)

And no, I don't have a landlord anymore.  I have a mortgage.

the joys of home ownership,     we just had to replace our waterheater, my bride is repainting the living room and I have some siding I need to replace, the outside needs painting, which I'll start right after I've put off as long as my bride will let me  (which I believe I'll be starting it pretty quick, I've put it off fer a while now)

I'm a little concerned about the wiring in my house. The outside light in the yard worked fine when I moved in and then one day stopped working. I figured the bulb needed to be replaced, but I tried four different bulbs and none of them worked.

And then I had a nightlight in the upstairs bathroom that went out and again I figured I needed to replace the bulb but the other day I tried to run the vacuum using that outlet and it didn't work at all.

DP said he'd help with all that stuff but then he got this new girlfriend and has been kind of distracted.

And of course there seems to be a leak when I use the hot water.

seems like there is always something,

wiring is easy, just remember that ALL electrical parts run on smoke, if you ever let the smoke out, they'll never work.  

What if they don't smoke at all?!!!

then  you have a good start, 

Just yesterday I spent 2 hours deforesting our self defrosting refrigerator. I use a hammer and chisel.

YOU OLD CHISELER YOU.

we have to do that with our deep freeze every once in a while, it isn't bad since we have it plugged up in the barn, but it does grow more moisture down there than in the house

It would be hard to say good buy to that old fridge... it’s over 50 years old. Our freezer in the basement is a 1947 model.

what brand is it?    some of those old freezers are worth enough to sell them and buy one that won't last but about 5 years

Th fridge is an Amana, and the freezer is a GE. They will be replaced when they cease to work, just like my 1960’s Maytag washer and dryer, and my wife’s 1928, and 1950’s Singer sewing machines.... the stuff will probably last longer than me.
