Yeah ours had a big branch break during the last hurricane. So our expenses in the past week:

Pool re-lined
New pool pump motor
New timer/kill switch for pool pump
New pool light
Tree getting cut down
New complete breaker panel replacement for the house
Fill up a 30,000+ gallon pool. (We should get half of that first back from the water company)

Home ownership is a blast

The tree is coming down Thursday. Add a new relay box to our irrigation system, and we’re at about 12k. Guess i can’t buy bammer’s drum kit now

If it wasn’t free I’m not sure we’d have as lush of a garden lol. Over the years I’ve learned how to fix broken pipes in the ground, change and repair sprinkler heads, etc. but when it comes to the pump and electrical, we need to call someone. My wife has become a wizard adjusting the sprinklers distance and target areas.
