Minor Home Repairs  

When I was a teenager I helped my dad. I helped put the shingles on the roof when I was a kid. Other than that I have never done anything like you speak of. I used to be good about putting on shingles. My brother and I had to do it during the summer when dad was building our house.

Lost me..lol..hubby suggests using sheet lead instead of aluminum,as it will mould better to any shape.
Good luck with it

Oh come on Bob - single mother of 4 on a very fixed income? I've done tons of minor home repairs but to be honest get a kick out of it and have taken on some major ones including: ripped out all the water pipes and replaced them, gutted the bathroom and re-modeled from the ground up, sided outside, knocked out walls and such.

I am however afraid of heights so when it came to the roof needing replaced my oldest son who was still at home then did that for me.

I need to recauk the around some of the tiles in my kitchen and bathroom I was hopping my husband would do it but alas he has not. He use to do all the home repairs before his stroke but now he does not care to. This week end he has sat and watched TV because it has been raining. He has never done that bafore.

I'd make the leak worse if I got near it Bob! I can do some minor stuff, but pretty much I have to call for help for anything more major - I'm such a "Girl" about these things!

We had to fix a small leak from our attic into my daughters bedroom the other week - this wasn't caused by the weather rather by work done by a plumber last year that they hadn't finished properly and one of the pipes was dripping! i was a bit nervous of letting my other half near it but he does seem to have fixed it ok! Bet you would have fixed it in no time AGB - just because you are fantastic! xxx
