You take some pictures of the trouble area, and I bet we can nail it. Is it near a valley, dormer, or other flashed area?

My dishwasher latch mechanism was broken, but I jerry rigged it buy making a beveled pivot shaft out of a nail with the dremel. Works like a charm.
My motherboard only reads at AGP2X, not 4X. And my CF Reader sometimes restarts Windows.
The chair I'm on doesn't have a hard plastic thingy, so I'm on carpet.
My keyboard wrist thingy is now smooth over months of use. Smooth as in there's no texture to the surface anymore.

Just replaced motherboard, cpu, videocard, my ps2, and my dresser. I need to buy a new desk and a bookcase. Money 
Hmm... well, I'm missing a fan/light thing in my gaming room cuz the restoration guys have been lazy. So I have to make do with a single 300 W halogen lamp. It's not so bad, but my group has a major adventure coming up on Saturday and I don't think they'll get to it by then. I'm gonna call and ask as soon as they open up (in about 4.5 hours).
Oh, and my 5-inch portable black & white TV broke. I accidentally let it hit a wall while the power adapter thing was plugged in and it like dislodged some contact or something (you'd have to hold the cable weird to get power into the dang thing). So I took it apart and re-soldered the bit that needed it... only I think I did it wrong (it seemed really obvious, so I didn't bother testing before soldering). So now I need to take it apart again and test various contacts to get the power working. Not that I really used the TV that much anyway. Heck, mostly I just watched Conan O'Brien on it while lying in bed. My friends said I should throw it away, but I was like "Hey, I paid $25 at Radio Shack for it, why throw away something that's mostly good? I can fix it."
What else is busted? Not much... hm... oh, I have this alarm clock (glowy-red digital sort) that's super difficult to adjust the time settings on. I don't use it anymore cuz I bought a new one, but I don't want to throw it out since it was a gift from my grandfather.
I need to buy a new MP3 CD player... my old one didn't break, but I can't find it. I thought it was in the back of my car, but I searched that pretty thoroughly like three months ago. I'm pretty sure it's at my parents' house, actually. My sister, who's there for the summer, says that she saw it but I think she had it confused with a regular CD player. Not that that info's all that useful anyway since she can't remember where or when.
Can't really think of anything else-- oh! Wait, duh, my SHOWER. Sheesh, how could I forget that one. My shower's busted. The water kept coming out less and less and now I barely get a trickle out of the thing. Dunno what caused it... corrosion in the pipes? But it seemed to happen way too fast for that (like over a period of 6 months). But that might be because I don't know how to maintain the water system for this house. It has its own well (in a closet next to the bathroom, actually... don't ask). Anyway, maybe the corrosion or minerals or whatever built up fast because I never changed some filter or something. Well, the water still tastes fine anyway. It's not like I've gotten sick from drinking it or anything, so it must still be okay. So I'm still showering next door. It's pretty inconvenient, but I've gotten used to it. My dad said he'd help me tear the wall near the shower head/pipes out so we could look at the stuff, but we both keep kinda forgetting about it and he's really busy anyway.
Um, but yeah, I can't think of anything else that's broken around here. Everything works good enough for me. Anyway.

Bathroom Door, Random PC Drives, My vans transmission, digital cam (damn batterys dont last over a minute) Water pressure isn't acting right, its spraying water like a damn IV tube.
My house has a hot water heating system (furnace heats water which is pumped through pipes in the floors) for heat. Not a problem in the summer, but it simply doesn't heat my room. At all. It sucks hardcore in the winter. Oh well, at least now I have my dual Xeon 3.06 to keep me warm. Speaking of which, my room has no AC and one of the windows is sorta busted (doesn't open properly), so it's about 100 degrees in here right now (1:20 AM local time).
My CD burner is acting up... it sometimes won't read a CD, or makes my machine hang at POST for 10-15 seconds before it detects the drive.
I think I need to replace some RAM - I get occasional errors that are obviously memory related (like errant color spots on rendered images).
You have to hit the track lights in my kitchen with a stick before they'll come on sometimes. And I really don't want to take them down to fix/replace them because they were a complete BITCH to install.
Oh, count in my internet connection. I need to have serious words with Wave Cable - I'm paying for 1.0/128, and getting maybe 256/64. Intermittantly, with frequent dropouts.
I'm sure there are more that I can't currently remember...
