Welcome to Being a Home Owner

I remember when I bought my very first home so many years ago. It was an exciting time of course. I remember cobbling together all the money available to make it happen. Within a week after I bought it the air conditioning conked out. $800 for a new compressor. It was a pretty big blow at the time, but I just had to find a way to make that work financially.

Well, the backup sump pump system in the new house ins't functioning. There is a battery backup system on it was well, along with a processing unit that evaluates its functionality. We had to disconnect the battery to silence the alarm. Not sure how much it's going to cost to get that straightened out. Compared to the $800 ding for a new home owner it won't be any big deal. Just kind of ironic.

And as for that $800 compressor. It's still functioning 25 years later (my mom lives in that house now).
