When to Replace

When to replace something Which will expire Is a question all homeowners face. Is it better to wait ‘Til a problem comes up In the item you need to replace… Or perhaps it makes sense, When that item is old, To just ditch it and buy something new. If it works but you’ve had it A really long time, then You know what’s the right thing to do. It’s a gamble to hope that Your item will last For if suddenly, it starts to break, You must deal with the consequence And chalk it up To a classic homeowner’s mistake.

When our microwave broke, I told my husband that I heard when you bought appliances in a bundle it was cheaper thus gaining a stove and refrigerator. ;) Hugs

This poem reminds me of how often an old television needed replacements of burned-out vacuum tubes. Good write as usual!

I can relate Ilene our central heating boiler was living on borrowed time and finally gave up after 51 years ! she owed us nothing - the guy who serviced it every year was amazed how it kept on going until it finally died! hugs jan xx
