The Old and The New

Can you tell which is the old and which is the new? The new microwave is a little larger. The new range has a larger oven window. Both of the new are Whirlpool appliances. The old ones were General Electric. The old ones were surely depreciated. The new ones work very nicely. We are certainly very happy with them. The plumbing in the guest bathroom was the next thing to go. When Beth was here Saturday evening she tried to take a shower, but the plumbing failed and water started dripping on the table on the floor below. As I type this the man is still here. He had a large task to do. He estimated an $800 charge. I may get a little discount for being so old. He is in the finishing stages right now. I should have recognized that some water was leaking under the floor in that bathroom as the floor started to buckle and some tiles cracked loose. I re-grouted those, but still did not know that I had trouble until Beth's aborted shower. I hope I am through taking care of depreciation for a while. Merry Christmas. gwh
