Gold overhead

Folks, I have found the answer to all of our money problems! It's been right above our heads this whole time!

Go outside and climb up on your roof. Do you see it? The gold? I know, I too only saw regular old asphalt shingles, but my friends, you have to look at it just right. You have to look at it the way roofers do. Pure Gold Baby.

Try getting quotes from them on replacing this Roof Made of Gold. Going by their quotes, it may not even be gold, it may be platinum or pure heating oil or whatever on earth could possibly cost more than having my roof redone. So far I have two quotes. One guy gave me a scale of good, better, best which ranged between $8,000 (gasp!) and $12,000 (ka-thud!!). The second guy is slightly more reasonable at $6,500, but still. I sent out an email at work asking for roofer recommendations, and everyone was very helpful. Many recommendations, not a one was recommended by more than one person. Fine, I'll get 8 million quotes. I'm sorry for the 7 million odd guys who are wasting their time, but since I have to try to take out a loan to cover this Yellow Brick Roof, lowest bidder wins.

i thought i didn't like being a renter. but, um, yeah, i'll rent.

hello, landlord? roof is leaking, going to the beach, see ya!

i'm sorry. i hope some handsome roofer falls in love with you, does your roof for free, changes the beneficiary in his life insurance policy to you and then falls off your roof and dies at the very moment he nails the last asphalt shingle home.

no, i don't. that's mean.

i sort of do though.
