As soon as you declare a spending ban, it's basically a race to see what appliance/possession will stop working first. The washing machine just squeaked under the deadline, but our doorbell did not.
Our home, built about 3 years ago by a builder who was building it as his dream home, was built without a doorbell. Baffles the imagination. Did they forget? Leave it off the checklist? Not have any friends? Because it isn't like there's a knocker on the door either. If we're not within about 20 feet of the front entrance, we can't hear someone knocking. For a while we had to specify that people coming to parties "just walk right in," but that was a little too strange, so Andy installed a wireless doorbell--which has worked fine until this week. Could be the batteries, could be broken--we have no way of knowing as we don't have anything else with D batteries. I've looked. I have taped a little "out of order" sign on our doorbell, but 90 days of this???
I'll have to see if Andy can do something with hula hoop bits again.
