The broken house- 2

The appliances. They break one by one. Almost all the devices are repaired and welded together. 

The microwave stopped heating. The motherboard (why not fatherboard?) got invaded by ants or roaches and moisture. A universal board was plastered on top of the panel because of the unavailability of original parts. You should see the universal microwave button panel! God!!

The fridge stopped cooling one hot day. The gas got over. Wow. We learned to live without it. And took the opportunity to scrub the machine thoroughly.

The wastewater pipe got clogged, and water rushed to the nearby outlet, the unused bathroom, and the whole house got flooded. Almost.

The TV plug melted. But, by the grace of the Supreme power, stopped there. The TV is still intact.

One night with the advice of Google Maps, a giant monster container truck took a detour along our lane and pulled and took our electricity connection cable in its wake, leaving us with no electricity for 2 days.

The washing machine suddenly developed an aversion to water and started pausing every 10 minutes and could care less to finish washing! Some tiny mischievous motor died. That was it!

The motor that magnanimously pulled and pumped water from the well to the water tanks needs water! For what? So ironic. On one terrible morning, the water inside the motor evaporated, and I didn't get any notification about that, mind you. The dutiful me switched on the motor, and the dry motor refused to suck water; therefore tank didn't overflow, and I totally forgot about switching off the motor for a long time, thereby causing a partial melting down of a few parts of the motor! Yeah.

Lightning and thunder. And excessive energy visited the inverter, and the m****board got electrocuted. So, when the electricity goes off, the house will be in complete darkness.

Haven't I covered almost all the gadgets? The all-time dripping taps? The many jointed, still leaking hose? The switchboards filled with mud deposited by ants? The doors that won't close? The outhouse waiting to collapse?

So, what's going on?
