My camera is dead...it's been a horrible camera anyway. Don't ever buy a cannon powershoot a630. It started breaking only a few months after we bought it and now it only works occasionally. Of course never when I NEED it to work.
The house we bought has a microwave built in....but it's broken. So we've been using our counter top...we would really like to have a working microwave where we are suppose to have one.
Since our fridge is black, the microwave we are going to buy will probably be black so we will need to replace the rest of the appliances. Our stove top is white, it works great....but the oven really sucks. It could have something to do with the big crack on the inside window
The dishwasher, besides the fact that it's white, doesn't dry the dishes...it's workable but annoying. When we get a chance to replace it we'll probably take it downstairs so the downstairs kitchen will finally have a dishwasher instead of a hole.
There's also another big hole downstairs where a small fridge is suppose to go, it would be great to have access to another fridge/freezer.
Our clothes washer stinks....no literally. We think water has leaked just outside the drum and has started to mildew and mold. But it doesn't seem to affect the actual washing of the clothes besides that it can't fit very many clothes in at once.
The heating element on the dryer seems like it's not as great anymore...after the full drying time, towels and blankets are a little damp, they use to be dry as a bone.
We use our outside toy box and the van wedged in as tight as possible to make a pretend fence/gate to keep the kids from going in the front yard. Although it's not fool proof they do escape every once in a while. Thankfully Rusty will walk around to the front door and knock instead of run into the street.
We have a death hole next to the house. As you walk around the corner of the house there is a window well with a good drop...it's where the black widow set up camp. I've seen Rusty running around outside and come way too close to that hole.
Our bedroom furniture is fine, it's just that we don't have enough drawers for Shawn to keep any of his stuff in them. We had to give his dresser to Mily since she now has her own room. Poor Shawn, the sacrifice he makes for his family.
And because this is a much bigger house than we use to have, we don't have enough furniture to fill it up. The formal living room and the entry way is empty besides the piano (with no piano bench).
Of course there are more absolute 'wants' on our list as well. For example, we just got a new BBQ but we have no place to sit to if we wanted to eat outside. We'd also love to have new light fixtures that actually let out a decent amount of light and window coverings for all the windows...I still can't believe they took all the curtains. It would be great if we knew how to get the swamp cooler up and running, the upstairs gets really hot even with the AC on and the basement becomes a freezer. The list goes on and on...can you imagine what the price tag would look like if I went on one big shopping trip...almost makes me sick just thinking about it.
Of course we are happy with what we do have and we will need to set some priorities as well as financial ability for the rest of that stuff...we need to get the death hole covered before we buy a seldom used living room set...but it would sure be nice to have it all!
