Must be the age?

Nope. All too old to want to do the farm work and the property is in the country amongst other farms so no commercial value. I mean, Tim didn't grow up here so he has no ties to VT. He's a city man now, if he could live in downtown Tokyo he would be happy. Could care less about being outdoors, owning any car, owning anything really. He just cares about Nuclear Physics and research. Period. And that's okay, it's his thing. We are proud of him.

Lol. I do know exactly what you mean in all accounts. Our asphalt prices are around $500/square up here and tin can be up to $1000. Condition forced my hand on this roof. 35 year old shakes were done. I just finished in time for snow to hit. Needless to say it didn’t rain all summer.......until it was stripped. Got paper on as the rain started. 4 days to strip and haul the shakes. Two days to lay asphalt. A couple more days of repairing facia and the snow came. Wet heavy snow! If I never do this again it will be too soon. it was about 34 square. Oh ya, I’m too old to do it again! It won’t be happening in this life.

Just a few months ago I decided I was going to roof my house myself after seeing the quotes... Nope not happening! Last week I crawled up on dad's roof to find a leak, it was shot, the whole thing needed replaced and it being dad I wasn't about to tell him to hire it out but I sure as hell am hiring mine out!

If it wasn't for whiskey I wouldn't have made it but boy am I feeling it and it isn't even done yet!View attachment 1187493View attachment 1187494
