My Dad who was rare to give compliments told me this right after I had grown up and left the nest. He told me he appreciated how I cared for the things he gave me. One of the items he referred to was a ten-speed bike he gave me as a young teenager. He noticed years later how the bike was still in like new condition. I shared this story because below you will see the potential life span of nearly everything concerning a home. The suggested life will depend on how well these items are regularly serviced and maintained! Appliances<!--mstheme-->	<!--mstheme--> Life Estimate in Years <!--mstheme-->
