<<We have lived in our house for over 30 years and we have spent over the purchase price for normal maintenance>>

Hmmm, at the current levels of expenditure, I may beat you by 7-10 years, easy!<G>

Yeah, the day-to-day maintainence expenses are not trivial (especially considering the opportunity costs if you do the work yourself...how much is 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon worth, anyway?<G>)
