So for the first time ever, I took a look at a full year's worth of actual spending (always done monthly but never put it together or kept it around). So from August 2008- July 2009 the damage was 88k. Youch. Pure house repairs and tools to do house repairs was $26k of that.
The one positive note is that starting May 2009 you can see the spending dropping like a rock. That's when we finally got caught up with most of the expenses of owning this home. And its stayed at the new rate since then. So now house repairs is just part of the allowance budget (or the savings budget for the big projects).
