I think the responses covered well the monthly costs and many blind side costs. When I moved to FL a relative warned me that things break in FL. He was right. I moved into a 20 yr old home with a pool. I replaced and repaired many things that I hadn't included in the monthly budget so I would consider them blind side costs. They included;
- Garage Door Springs
Metal blinds that began to stick and break
Window balancer springs
Driveway pavers and maintenance
Rescreened and painted the lanai. Beams became stained, screens were loose/molded
Replaced pool pump and light. Resurfaced the pool gel coat
Replaced the refigerator because it broke and the rest of the appliance to match
Replaced the disposal
AC and dryer vent cleaning
Updated the water filtration system
Added landscape rocks and repaired weed barrier
Remodeled bathrooms
In addition, major updates made and included in other posts were roof, water heater and AC
