Building or purchasing buildings, such as your home, costs money, but in addition to this initial cost, there are ongoing maintenance and repair costs. Maintenance and repair costs include many tasks that require time and money. For example, as shown in Figure 1, a house needs a new roof every 20 years; gutters should be cleaned every fall; parts of the air conditioner should be cleaned every few months; holes in the siding need to be repaired frequently; bathrooms should be renovated every 20 years; your sister's room needs be repainted when your favorite color changes; and much more. The number of tasks over the long life of your home, known as its lifecycle, really add up.
