Things That Need to Be Fixed

- the soap dish in the bathtub (fell off over a year ago and is in a bag under the sink--the gap in the tile is taped over)

- one of the dining room windows (propped closed with a stick)

- the doorbell (little sign saying it is broken so please knock or come in)

- the dryer door (stays closed if you wedge a stick between the handle and the floor) (do you detect a pattern?)

- one of the living room blinds (barely opens and closes if you know exactly how to jiggle the strings--needs to be replaced)

- stair railing in the front hall (almost off the wall--girls are forbidden to lean on it)

- CD player (speakers are hooked up to the DVD player which plays the CDs)

We haven't even lived here two years. I hate to imagine the future.

I'm glad to hear we're not the only ones living in a house with multiple broken things. Every once in a while, I get motivated to fix something, but usually it doesn't help much.

Can't even tell you how many things in my apartment are broken! No point even TRYING to pull down a shade; and the printer only works if I clamp the front on with foot or hand while the pages churn out, that is really v. annoying since it is what I would consider an ESSENTIAL rather than an optional piece of household equipment!
