When we bought our house, all the appliances were new. The roof was "recently" re-shingled and the HVAC wasn't new, but was in good condition. I said to my wife that is was great but everything was going to fail at the same time.

In the past 3 years we've replaced:

1. Roof
2. Fence
3. Garage door opener
4. Dishwasher
5. Clothes washer
6. HVAC
7. Plumbing drain to sewer

Don't forget to change the sacrificial firstborn child when reshingling your roof

Don't jinx me lmao

Go ahead and call the mechanic to schedule that transmission fluid change. Don't let him rip you off with a flush, though. All you need is a drain and fill.
