[quote=Anonymous]I a house built in 1960 -- your typical DC 'burbs house. I figure on spending about $2k a year on basic maintenance. That's to keep what's here working and safe. Not upgrading or improving. Just maintaining. Like you said, something is almost always happening. A pipe (or 3) in the garage froze during the winter, a tree partially fell and needed to be cut down and removed. HVAC cleaning/inspection. A toilet kept clogging and ultimately needed replacing. This year I also needed to replace the entire back porch/deck because the wood was rotting away. That has been a big expense but I hope it won't need to be touched for another 15 years. I also budget $1k for outside maintenance. [/quote]
