(Our old house did - basically, if anything went wrong in the first year, it was covered. When we sold that house, we put a warranty on it, in order to make it more attractive to buyers - and we have to replace the furnace.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, for a while we were going through an appliance a month. We added our own water softener, instead of keeping the rental one. The magic smoke escaped from the dishwasher, then the washing machine stopped washing. It does eventually get better - hopefully the basement and the roof won't give you problems.Garouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576646558381494373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953212.post-1127919074991853592005-09-28T09:51:00.000-05:002005-09-28T09:51:00.000-05:00We have a basement, but it's tight.

Of course, this doesn't mean the basement won't be breached by Mole People.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945657000272452084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953212.post-1127914022749155002005-09-28T08:27:00.000-05:002005-09-28T08:27:00.000-05:00Do you have a basement?

Wait until you have to sweat out the first major rainfall concerned about water getting in.MDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513428590815032515noreply@blogger.com
