Right out of the gate my reverse hooking started. Working on the first chicken thought a dark red vs. bright red would be a better choice for the comb and wattle since it is an antique adaptation. Then hooked a row of background around to see if the comb and wattle were visible. Well heck, I can't even see any red in the photo below but can see it in person.
I'll start contacting companies for estimates but know it will be costly. Neighbor down the street had their roof put on about 5 years ago and cost them $18,000. Prices have increased a LOT since then as have salaries. I should have bitten the bullet a few years ago when it would have cost less. Oh well, oh hell.
Guess it's a good thing I opted to not attend Cape May in September so that will be about $1,000 toward the cost, lol. Happy homeownership.

Holy hell, woman!!! Look how much you've already accomplished. You are unreal.
ReplyDeleteRoofs. Ugh. I had mine done about 7-8 years ago. Thankfully it is over the garage, but it is still leaking after all these years. The roofer has been out countless times and it still leaks. To say I am not a happy camper is an understatement.
A roof is expensive and since my husband cannot do it any longer, we will have to pay someone when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteBut so sorry you gave up a hook in for a roof hook ins are so fun but a roof is so important.

UGH ....we had our roof redone about 5 years ago and I don't want to remember how much it cost ....
ReplyDeleteLove this design you are hooking ! Your Chicken looks good so far .
Ditto what Sissy said..holy hell. If possible, I swear you'd be done before you even started. Please, please, PLEASE don't talk about roofs. Again, like Sissy, I've had bad leaking or several years (since it was replaced during WWR) and the roofer (and several others) have been out more times than I can count and no one has been able to fix it. Usually it is only when the rain is heavy and from a certain direction...I've video'd it, etc. and they still can't figure it out. And then last year my garage roof started falling onto my car. WTH? Had that looked at too and no one quite knows for sure. Having 4 buildings in "the compound" to re-roof, I might have to go back to work in order to afford it...and that is not an appealing idea at all. Tornado warning again tonight... Going to be another long night.
ReplyDeleteI love that rug. I have always thought about hooking it. I still might. I love hooking chickens! I am so sorry about your roof! That is such a huge expense. I always enjoy seeing what is on your frame.
ReplyDeleteWe had to replace our roof about 5 years ago. It was expensive then and I cannot imagine the cost of it now. Good luck. Chicken rug looking good but I dont see the wattle. Janice
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be amazing! Can't wait to see the progress. Sorry to hear about your roof! What a pain! My couch is currently in such bad shape & I am not wanting to have to get a new one. I might try a professional upholstery cleaning to see if that helps. Owning a home always has its struggles!
