Sun, have any of your trusted friends gotten a new roof lately? Does your handy man know of a reputable company? If not, do a google search of roofers in your area and look at the (google) reviews. Or if you have "Angie's list", you could go that route.

I interviewed six or seven businesses before I chose the one I did. It does suck, but you have to do it.

Hi Fen - no, no-one that I know of has yet to have a roof put on - the ironic thing is, the owner of this business lives in our neighbourhood and had been going on about how he would take care of us 'cos we lived in the same neighbourhood - it was his brother-in-law who is down from WI helping him out 'cos he is so busy who was here today. He is actually a member of the BBB and I shall be making a comment on the BBB site as to the fact that as soon as he saw the amount of the insurance cheque, the original estimate was out the window......and the new estimate was the exact same amount as the amount of the cheque..... I KNOW we aren't supposed to make money off of the insurance claim - but then - neither are they!!!!

I was just really upset at the time with the whole scenario - for the chap that was here thinking WE were such fools!! I did call my insurance company and talked to them and asked them if I did the right thing and they said that I did...... I just hate the thought of starting again at the very beginning - SIGH

Hello all. Just a post to say I'm among the living. Nothing to add, yet, but later. RE: roof repair? Doing that sort of thing constantly, I have one position: Bring me a contract, first, with all the info, and we'll sign that. Up-front money is in it, to cover materials. No other money is authorized until we see the reason and OK it. They hae a time requirement, and a guarantee that the county fees for inspection are theirs, and any 'no-pass' rulings are theirs to correct, or my deposit is refunded. Simple. BUT, that's just me. Hey Fen. Missed chatting w/you. Gotta go - lots of paperwork.

Hello there sweet family!

Ir's been ages since you've heard from me... I know!

That doesn't mean, though, that you're not all in my mind 24/7. I'm sure that some of you might think that I'm not the social type and, that perhaps, I was just dropping in your thread, making friends and then disappearing..! There's a good explanation, not an excuse, for all that! I have made some good and true friends on this thread, whom I have let down by my being MIA. That doesn't mean that I don't think about you!

It's only the mere fact that I am totally down the dumps and going thru some pretty rough times and when I feel like that, I just don't want to talk or be social, cause I totally suck!! I know what you'll say,"We're here for you, no matter what". The thing is that I don't feel good and I can't pretend!

I want to be true to my friends and when I feel like the way I do, and knowing that I cannot be what you deserve, I make the decision to stay away! Please forgive me!

Just wanted to drop in and tell you that! I Not doing good at all, but, still here!

Love you all lots and lots!
Effie

EFFIE! I've missed you! Sorry you're down, but don't feel that's a reason to stay away. Really. :l

Sun, that sucks. Make a bad review about him, seriously. That's how word gets around. Tell your story word for word to the BBB.
I know it's a hassle to find somebody, but it's pretty routine to have to interview a lot of folks for the job.

Tee hee heee


Sorry - shouldn't really laugh - can't help it....... love him anyway though....

I have promised Hubs I will leave it a few days before putting in a complaint with the BBB but the more I think about it, the more I am wondering "why?". I think he is thinking that the boss will call either this evening or tomorrow. i will wait until tomorrow evening and do it then..... but am going to write it all out this evening while it is fresh in my mind. I don't think I want them doing it now even if they honour the old estimate... would worry about the work that they do.......

We have only had two bids - right now, with everyone snowed under with work, it is such a hassle to get bids. I think we might leave it and wait until the end of the summer.....

Bird - your poor daughter - wonder why she has all those cysts in her earlobe? laughed at the goofy grin on her face - dear girl . Hope she feels better soon.....

Hi effie - so good to see you here :l

Hi there Rubes - hope you had a great visit with Fen and she didn't drag you round all the hills and dales!!

Off to clean up the kitchen after baking cookies....

love and hugs, sun XX

Jan - why have you got to cut your Ad in half? I am off mine now totally...... Be careful going down off it won't you - but why are you cutting it down? yes, I know what you mean about posting in too many places - I post in two mainly - with the odd post now and again in others but mainly here and the topa thread. I am happy that you are feeling better than you have done in weeks - and I WANT SOME RAIN. Swap you some cookies for some rain? LOL

Love Sun XX
