It's a BIG roof!<br /><br />On top of that the gutters have to be replaced.<br /><br />What makes it worse is that MasterPo replaced the gutters 3 years ago with one of thoe leaf-less styles. Worked great - until birds nested in it and clogged it all up!<br /><br />That was money down the drain. :-(<br />(no pun intended)MasterPohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247333453805284751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-83548673937884636192010-09-17T16:43:17.371-07:002010-09-17T16:43:17.371-07:00Carol--apparently it's not completely unsafe, ...Carol--apparently it's not completely unsafe, but it's a ceramic chimney that has been repaired with duct tape! My roofer said it's going to fall apart at some point, and that I really need a metal chimney. <br /><br />Whitney--I have a great deal of ambivalence about selling the home--it is the first house I ever owned and it is in my hometown (though I guess you could say I have a new hometown now that I've been in the city the past 20 years!) I intended it to be my children's college fund or my retirement travel fund. Also the market in that town is not great at the moment.
