Dear Abby
Only because I am a single female homeowner and have no clue how to fix things

When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

Easy fix. I just put in a maintenance request with our apartment and they come to either repair or replace the appliance.
ReplyI don't hesitate calling for factory service. While I'm pretty handy, today's appliances are more computer than mechanical. Factory service ensures it will be fixed correctly with approved parts. I love using handymen, but not for appliance repair.
ReplyHaving a mechanically talented husband helps in the long run.
ReplyWe live in an apartment; and just call maintenance if something breaks.
ReplyA few good brothers helps
