[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I'm recently divorced and remember the panicky days following separation. I think that oh-crap-how-am-I-going-to-do-this feeling is driving your desire to, IMO, go overboard on preventative maintenance. You have so many other things to focus on right now. Separating is a big adjustment for you and for the kids. It's obviously emotional and draining and expensive. And it can zap your ability to think clearly, and lead you to over-correct. For now, like a PP suggested, just fix what is broken. Have the HVAC inspected once a year. Put a note on your calendar to have the gutters cleaned in the fall and turn off the water to the hose. It might be worth having a one-time home inspection to get information on things like how old the roof is and when it is likely to need replacement. The inspector can also tell you what maintenance is needed on various things. [/quote]
