home maintenance

The roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. No acute problems, but it's about time to start talking to purveyors of replacements. There are books on the third floor, after all. :-)

If you have comments (pro or con) about roofers in the Pittsburgh area, I'd appreciate hearing them.

If you have favorite resources (particularly if they're on the web) that will help us make whatever decisions are involved (materials, what else?), I'd definitely like to hear about them.

House repairs. *Takes a deep breath* I'm planning to buy my first house in the next couple of months. I'll miss being able to call the landlord for things like clogged toilets, and I certainly don't look forward to major repairs.

Good luck!

You have to make your own repairs, but you get to make your own decisions about the space -- no worrying about whether the landlord will disapprove of your built-in bookcases, picture hooks, desire to rip up the ratty carpets to get to the hardwood floors, etc.

Oh, and pets. :-)
