Everything you mentioned is easy to fix. Your going to have start learning to trim the budget sooner or later anyway-why not start now ?

Building supply stores such as home depot so on have free how to fix repair literature and video's as well as instruction secessions.

Since you own a condo now- now is the time to get hot on learning how to fix and repair things. All it takes is the ability to learn and sticktoittiveness.Meaning don't stop untill it gets fixed.

You will find that there is somebody knowledgeable at each department- plumbing-electrical-flooring on and so on. Ask a lot of questions-they are there to help the do it your selfer.That is how the store makes money selling Chineese goods !

Good luck- and try your hand at it now rather than later.Save yourself some money.
