In my city, if you have a sewage cleanout drain outside the house, city has to come out to clear the line if you have a clog. External cleanouts are usually a few feet out from the foundation, but they can snake into the house lines too.I don't have one, the job has to be done inside the house from the cleanout access there. It's my responsibility. Varies by locale, your realtor will probably know. Newer construction generally has external sewage access, but it all depends on local code. 1931, they didn't think of that.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Huh, Gris, didn't realize you knew Seanan, too. I enjoy her immensely.
Let us know how the schmancy dinner was!
We have a home warranty through State Farm, and it's been pretty awesome when our basement flooded, and when we just had to get the AC and furnace fixed up for the selling process.
At yoga tonight, a mellow candlelight Yin class, some wench's phone went off TWICE, a loud, full-on ringing. RUDE. WTF? It's like, basic courtesy.

What the shit? She didn't turn it off after the first time? Rude.

I think the sewer is covered by the HOA - I haven't gotten their documents yet and that is one thing I know I'm looking for.

I do not have a home warranty. But one of the reasons I bought my house is because it was only 7 years old, so I figured maintenance would be minimal (old enough to get the kinks out, young enough to not fall apart yet). Of course, now that it's more like 13 years old, I expect the water heater and fridge and dishwasher and washer dryer will probably all die at the same time!

I'd seen the week thing before, but it still amazes me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My favorite part of that argument was this:
Can you lend me $800? I'll pay you back $100 every other day for 2 weeks. Sound cool?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Same here. Mine was built in 1998. I'll need a new water heater in a few months, I expect, and a new roof in a couple years, but overall the place is sound. In this case, I'd rather pay for what I need as I need it. But if I had an old house, with the surprises that always come with, I definitely would get a home warranty.

Hey. New board.
I have an old house with lots of surprises a d we still skipped out on the home warranty. Too many bad stories of them insisting on crappy service organizations or failing to follow through. Probably a good idea to resear h and get a good one but I prefer the control of pay as you go.
The dinner was amazing.
