@phillmv@hachyderm.io Ah the joys of home ownership. After years in this old house I'm looking forward to apartment life again :ablobowo:

@phillmv@hachyderm.io pretty sure in that episode of the Golden Girls where they need the roof fixed it cost 10,000 and would've been like 1990, so 30k in 2026 is steep but maybe not too unreasonable. Then again I haven't seen your roof but I have seen a lot of Golden Girls

@phillmv@hachyderm.io that sucks. My commiseration is that we did some renovations on our basement this year, and during the planning failed to notice our gas line would be in front of a new window. Cost to move the gas line about 2 ft higher on the house to get it out of the way: $4,000! I don’t even want gas anymore! But replacing the furnace and with a heat pump and capping the line would have been like $20-30k and we were already stretching our budget. Houses.
