Roof Update

Well, the roofing guy said that they can patch the two spots with the leaks, but all of the shingles need to be replaced as well. The existing ones are apparently too brittle to try to match up with the ones they would need to replace over the bad spots. The estimate was in the neighborhood of $6000. {SIGH} I have no idea where we're going to come up with that. Hopefully, we can get some kind of home equity loan from our credit union or something. This sucks. I suppose it could be worse though; at least we don't also have to replace all the decking. Oh well, I guess the silver lining is that a new roof will add to the value of the house and may be a selling point when we sell it in a couple of years.
