    I’ve had the opposite experience lol. Don’t have to call the landlord several times to repair the same broken dishwasher that’s been repaired 4 times before. I can just grab a free one from classifieds and install myself.

    As long as the roof, foundation, and plumbing are good I’m not required to do shit.

      The bane of my existence. Water was not meant to move through a wooden house. God has punished me repeatedly for my hubris.

        Ah the sweet musty smell of cavity mould and rot in the morning, paired with a hint of chimney backflow.

        Really hits the spot. Love sleeping with the windows open on cold nights just to stop myself from suffocating.

        On the plus side, Ive made lots of friends with the neighbours with similar problems, all who recommend me their “bathroom guy” or “chimney wizard”
