I feel that. Ex-wife and I called it the "Home Depot tax".
Crappy power washer took a dump washing the living room area rug. Well fuck. Haven't figured it out yet, can't afford a new one.
Wife: "I'll scrub it by hand."
That's not the problem! We have to have a power washer to keep the house clean. I am no clean freak, not by a long shot.
Dated a girl with kidney issues. She couldn't get out and work at all. The outside of her house was disintegrating for lack of cleaning.
