What Lasts about 10 years?

Well let me just tell you!

Our house is about 10 years old. We have been in this house for about 2.5 years. I am WILD about my house. I think that it is the perfect house for our family and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful neighborhood to live and raise our kids. That said.

What does last about 10 years?

Every major appliance!

In the short time that we have lived here we have replaced:

Year 1
the roof
Two HVAC units
6 windows
a new fence

Year Two
replaced hardwood and had to have the house sanded and refinished

I am sure that there are more, and I will be told of them once Nathan reads this.

The newest thing to happen: new dishwasher and disposal. Now I am not complaining but also in there was the purchase of two new cars...... or one new car and one that was slightly used.

So when I broke the news to Nathan that we needed a new dishwasher-he almost lost it. I told him that it was OK dishwashers did not cost $20,000! So now I have a new stainless steel dishwasher, complete with jets that may clean off food and perhaps does not sound like a 747 landing in my kitchen! So exciting!

I am so happy that Nathan did not offer to purchase me new dish towels instead of a dishwasher!
