Bad luck...

• Last month - upstairs heat pump dies. $200 for temp fix,  $6,000 for new unit
• Kitchen faucet springs a leak and fills lower cabinet - new faucet at 11 p.m. (also not cheap!)
• Truck mirror and door handle break. $200 (thank GOODNESS for the extended warranty)
• Last week: downstairs furnace breaks.  $200 for a temporary fix, HVAC guy suggests $3,200 for a new unit (also, thank goodness we have an HVAC guy in the family or this would be a MUCH SADDER post)
• 10 year old HE3T washer (the first production year) makes an AWFUL noise w/each load but is still washing - is it next??  PLEASE NO!
