Roofing

So does anyone have a roofer they can refer? The house I'm in the process of buying has a very old roof and it needs to be replaced in the next couple years....may as well do it asap especially since I probably won't see another sizable bonus from work after the one I get in March. I suppose they don't do roofing in the winter up here? At least I could get an idea of what it would cost?

Why!

Why does it still say Orlando, FL at the end of each of my posts? I changed my location in my profile. I'm missing something :/

Juno

Went to see Juno last night at the Regal on Elmwood. Great movie. Jason Bateman did a fantastic job in his role...everyone did actually. Lots of dry humor. Highly recommended.

Bought a House!

So I just accepted a counter-offer and have purchased my first house! Very excited! It's in N. Buffalo on Winston. Now for all the paperwork, inspection, signatures, etc etc!

And I just stumbled upon this gorgeous little block behind allen, with a little park in the middle... totally made me want to buy a house.

Inspection is scheduled for Saturday, appointment with the mortgage broker is scheduled on Wednesday. My apartment lease ends on May 1, so I'm hoping to close in April, ideally. We'll see!

I've been looking into buying a house, and I have the same exact fears/nightmares. The one thing that makes me feel a bit better is that one should also fear giving half one's paycheck to a landlord and never getting any ownership of anything. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

tiburon1724 writes at 04:20:25 01/28/08 - Comment #30966: yeah it's definitely also scary as hell. I literally keep having dreams of not being able to make the payments, dropping out of school, losing my job, and becoming a bum. :/
