Something Your Home Doesn't Have That You Wish It Did?

My home is missing an honest woman who enjoys intelligent conversation and a good laugh over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Maybe that is why I'm "hitting the road" next week. Sitting around by yourself causes bad stuff like dementia. Who needs that?

Don't hate you Micka, 🤗 but hand washing wastes a lot of water. Before my old machine died, I ran a full load twice a week.

I guess I'm not great at hand washing cuz often, my DW got my dishes cleaner than I could. But it's true, the DW gives much hotter water than the tap due inside-heaters.

Whatever floats our boats, huh?

I wish I had a gas cooking stove. I can’t cook properly on four ‘dorm room’ hot plates that is called a stove. There is gas to this house, it could have been done easily when it was built.

I once had a gas stove in an older apartment and I loved cooking with it. My ex didn't want it in our new home, and now in my condo, there is no capability.
 
Looking back at my reply I think it is the most practical;

A vault full of money so we could buy whatever we wanted whenever we wanted.

The wishes by others could easily be fulfilled;)
 
My condo doesn’t have a washer and dryer. I have a laundry room in my building. I could install one but the plumber and electrician together cost 2k plus the cost of the appliances and I would lose a third of one of my closets. Being alone I don’t do that much laundry so it seems like a waste of money.
 
@RadishRose I don't know, I'm just paranoid I guess. I'm afraid if I ask for repairs they might want to get rid of me, change the place and rent for more. I'm noticing that they are upgrading the apartments after people move out.

@Jules Over 10 years. I think of the opportunities I had to leave. When property was lower and I could have got a condo. Now with the fires, prices have gone up. I'm still looking for a mobile in a park. Places for sale but old and crappy. Yes you are right, they would replace but they would raise the rent for it also. I'm sure of it.
 
I wish my kitchen didn't have the old sink it has, which is similar to this one:

Sure, it looks somewhat cool, but when I'm washing something or rinsing something off, water splashes up on the outside and then runs down the back or to the sides and flows out onto the counter and onto the floor. It's ridiculous!
 
I wish my house had a front garden - nothing too big. This village was founded in 1760 and all the houses and cottages opened on to the road (there was possibly a pavement). It is only (with a few exceptions like the Manse) in the 20th century when old houses were demolished, that new houses were built with small front gardens.
This pic is of the oldest part of the village and you can see that nearly all the houses open on to the road. However, they all had generous back gardens to allow for growing vegetables, keeping a few chickens or maybe a pig.

The Church of Scotland building has been derelict for many years. The first house on the left was originally a small whisky distillery.
