Joys of Home Ownership

In a one-month period, I got to be on first-name terms with a bunch of home-repair people, seemed like everything in my 100 year-old home went out at once.

• The Spring on my Garage Door broke, trapping my wifes car inside.  Metro Overhead Door did a good job responding and fixing it.
• The sewer started backing up into the basement.  Pro Drain did a stellar job responding the same day and rooting out a root clog.
• The Dishwasher wasn't cleaning much of anything.  Reliable Appliance Repair took care of that in a snap.
• The hot water heater stopped heating.  Stan the Hot Water Man took care of that very quickly.
• Ants started invading in the kitchen.  Petes Pest control to the rescue.  According to Pete, this is going to be a good year for him, with the warm winter we just had, the ants are in party mode.
