We now have three bids on replacing the roof. The lowest one is $3,000 less than the highest bid. 90% of the contractors I have picked from the BBB (Better Business Bureau) listings and have an A+ rating; and some are BBB Accredited. I called several places today to get estimates on getting the yard brush hogged. The original estimate we had from our regular company was way out of line. They wanted $388 to brush hog one acre!!! ... so I've been on a quest to find other places that will do it...not easy to find. We have a tentative guy set up to do the drywall for the ceilings and wall; but we have to also have someone to do the tear down of the wet drywall and insulation. I might try and find someone who will do both. The ad to sell the piano, desk and possibly a couch will run next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We will call our regular plumber to replace the faucet in the kitchen. I have a couple of people that are going to give us estimates to clean the gutters. If that doesn't help, we will need to have a partial excavation done to solve the water problem in the room off the garage. I think that's it for now! Doing any home repairs at your place?

The roof here was done last year. No issues at the moment.

Fortunately I rent so such repairs are paid for my landlord - hope you get a good deal,and that first one sounds a terrible offer

It sounds like you are really moving along with those estimates. It sounds like you will have everything finished before you know it.

Glad you shopped around for the bids. Sound like it is going well. Nothing going on here right now.
