I'm a gluten for punishment! When I first got married I hadn't really established myself, lived in a trailer, didn't have a whole lot so stretching my money was key meaning doing everything myself. We built our home from the basement to the top, no contractors, rebuilt salvaged cars, etc. I'm not complaining because it resulted in us being debt free with more than we could otherwise afford.
Fast forward to today where time is flying by because of me taking on to much (constantly working)... I'm wanting to slow down and enjoy the simple things and start farming some of this out. So our roof is in need of replacement and I tell the wife.. I ain't doing it! Just had our first quote for a new metal roof, I just threw out a guess to the wife of $15,000? Yeah right, 31,000!!!
Looks like I'll be eating that "I ain't doing it"! How do people do it? We borrowed $35,000 to build our home, $31,000 just for a roof!
