[matcom]

x(

just LOVE home ownership. oh well. PERHAPS the last roof i'll ever have to buy :eyes:

happy FRIGGEN new year!

[undeterred]

1. Going to the dentist.

[matcom]

3. you win

:P

[Bunny]

5. Me too! I'm getting my root canal finished!

Gawd bless novacaine and vicodin! :woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Not tomorrow, but soon I'll be springing for a new HVAC unit.

I need a new roof too, but the HVAC unit is a bit more of a pressing issue.

Oh yeah, the water heater needs to be replaced, too.

x(

Why did I do this again? Oh yeah, I'm building equity. :eyes:

[matcom]

9. if you were a GOOD 'Murican....

you would have pulled that equity out YEARS ago for something you REALLY need!

like a new scooter :P

[GOPisEvil]

10. You have to have some to use it.

I'm building it $100 a month. Yeah, I'll be paying on this house until 2034. :eyes:

[redwitch]

11. our water heater is on it's way out too.

Cold showers are great in the summer, but upstate NY requires hot water this time of year. Hard water is hell on appliances. Looking into a water softener too. Building equity, yes indeedy!

[KamaAina]

4. Taking my $6,000 check straight to the bank before it bounces

:evilgrin:

[matcom]

7. bitch those are supposed to be ARCHITECTURAL shingles!

x(

[knowbody0]

6. writing a check for $2,500

new propane stove!

happy happy happy---no more wood chopping, kindling splitting, ashes! next is the roof, thinking about a tin one.

[LaurenG]

8. Yikes, sorry to hear that

that is a lot of $$$$$$. They do have some rubber coated metal roofing material and other types that are supposed to last at least a lifetime. I bet it even costs more though.

I have a few more years to go thankfully. I guess I better start saving up for it.x(

[lizziegrace]

12. Going to a client's office

and auditing their 401K plan for 5 years...

:yawn:

[Little Wing]

13. Ripping off some sucker with too much money

who doesn't need a new roof

[matcom]

14. glad i'm not HIM!

:rofl:

sadly, we do :7

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Wishing I could write a check for $6,000.

:rofl:

[matcom]

16. oh, you are assuming I can AFFORD it!

:rofl: :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. And you're assuming I HAVE $6,000.

:rofl:

[matcom]

18. and you are assuming I didn't have to take out a LOAN to write this check

:cry:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. So we're both screwed.

:hi:

[Little Wing]

25. I'm still wondering what's stopping you

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. From having $6,000?

[Little Wing]

29. No, from writing the check

:D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. HA!

:rofl:

[xmas74]

19. I will be turning 23 tomorrow.

(I've been holding at 23 for quite a few years now. I don't know why I lie about it-you can guess my age from my name.)

[matcom]

20. happy 51st anniversary

of your 23rd birthday! :D

[xmas74]

21. Should have known you'd push it.`

Damn I look good for 74!

[matcom]

22. you don't look a day over...

24

[xmas74]

23. Why thank you!

I'm a mom so whenever someone says something nice I automatically assume they want something. Let's get it over with-What do you want?

[ikojo]

27. While you are in the check writing mood

Can I PM you with my name and address? I'd like a Piaggio X9 and it costs almost $7k.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Getting the dishwasher repaired and a new garage door.

Not $6,000, but bad enough. :eyes:

[ironflange]

31. Big deal! I could write one for $100,000 right now!

It wouldn't get very far, but I could write it.

[Hugin]

32. That's NOTHING! I have in my hands a guaranteed check for $ONE MILLION!

Publisher's Clearinghouse says so...

I'm off to the bank tomorrow to get a mortgage using the check as collateral!

:P



















Think they'll take it? :shrug:

[ironflange]

40. Watch for the Prize Patrol!

They'll be awarding the big prize tomorrow!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

33. going back to work

but I will be off again on friday! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! (just in case you don't hear from until next year!)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. You're getting a metal roof?

Because unless it's metal, you're probably going to have to buy another. Then again, you'll probably have to buy a new roof with a metal one too...
Duckie

[SlavesandBulldozers]

35. have you tried ebaying the old one? n/t

[rug]

36. I hope the roofer doesn't have a butt crack like your smiley.

[TommyO]

37. Well, tomorrow I'll be sitting here at home

I'm working from home and will be enjoying sitting here in my comfy sweats, t-shirt and socks with three cats seeking attention. The next checks I write will be on Friday for the rent, utilities, and a brand-spanking new plasma TV from Costco (the Christmas present that my family neglected to get me this year).

That said, I've done more than my share of repairs on my old place, including a new HVAC system, water heater, multiple repairs from the upstairs neighbor's water heaters giving up the ghost, and insulation (not to mention two transmissions). I'm actually enjoying being a tenant instead of a home-owner for once.

[flamingyouth]

38. WISHING I was getting a new roof....

Ours has been leaking for almost two weeks... still waiting for the estimator to come by. They are so backed up after our massive storm of Dec. 14. The bedroom walls are getting damp and moldy. x(

[SPKrazy]

39. Well I'd Like To Say I'm Getting A Check For 6K Tomorrow!

hope it is a damned good roof!

kind that keeps the rain out and all.
