Joys of Homeownership

The Joys of Homeownership

When It Hits Home.....

Boy meets house.

Boy buys house.

Boy gets a good deal.

Yet, as with anything truly ironic, boy lacks the capacity to fix things. Boy's mechanical fortitude is akin to spitting into the wind, shooting pool with a rope.

Boy clogs sink.

Boy tries Drano.

Boy sees no results.

I dialed the digits of one of my best friends from High-School, who is a plumber. He gave me the down low on how to solve the problem, without a Professional Solution.

Boy plunges until he is involved in a deep sweat.

Boy pours boiling water down the drain.

Boy still sees clogged sink.

It's time for the Gel, the Drano Gel. My father recommended it, and it was echoed by various other sources that were asked. I did the deed, enforced the Gel, and gave it more than the time allotted to do the trick. The Gel didn't do the trick, time for Plan C....Bring Out The Snake!

Boy utilizes Snake.

Boy feels Snake not slithering enough.

Boy loses faith in humanity and his own ability to solve a Plumbing Issue.

There is one last shot, I get Crystals from a Plumbing Retail Outlet for Emergency purposes. This would be an emergency, I haven't had a functioning sink for a week since the manure hit the fan with it. Bob Villa would be vastly under-impressed with my ability to repair anything that went wrong with a home. To Bob Villa I say, "Villa La Sardi." Or in laymen's terms, we'll see what happens.

Boy follows directions

Boy uses crystals.

Boy finds that sink is still clogged, operation stagnant!

The point of all this is simple. Buying a home is a grand way to be on your way to a better financial life. However, it is vital you have what us in the Real Estate Industry call (Reserves) just in case. In case something goes wrong and you can't fix it, in case something is missing and you can't replace it, if you have no money in the bank...that's an issue after closing I hope WE prepared you for. Home-ownership is a priviledge and stauch reality, it's an investment in the roof over your head. Utilize it wisely and make sure the parties around you are looking out for your best interests both now and down the road. As far me goes...I'm going to call one of these guys.....

(now how much is that plumber going to cost:-)
