But as Bob Dylan famously sang: "Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, For the times they are a' changin'!
Briefly, let me explain, we had a flooding in the upstairs bathroom which damaged the kitchen ceiling below.

Bathroom (Stand-in model for me)
Microwave above the cooker
Fridge/Freezer
The microwave above the cooker stopped, later the fridge/freezer came out in sympathy.
Laptop
Hotel 10mins from where I live
My laptop crashed out, by now I'm thinking I should move into the Marriott hotel down the road.What helped me to see the light? Repair cost if I went blindly ahead. Ceiling $400+ microwave $500+ (amazon sell the same model $300 it blew my mind away!) fridge/freezer $300+ laptop unable to give me a price but said no less than $200 total $1600. New York prices are madder than the prices at the Mad Hatters Tea Party. What is shocking is the sense of entitlement that pervades from every pore of these salespersons that you will believe their BS. Fear not! YouTube came to the rescue.

YouTube came to the rescue!
I researched each of the above and followed the videos on how to do repairs. Without dislocating my shoulder patting myself on my back or toot one's own horn, I repaired all of the above including changing the hard drive on my laptop. In total saving well over $1200. Hip hip hooray! It made me feel good about myself.
