Okay. How about the bad news first?
I got a quote, just on the off chance like, of how much it’d cost to re-roof an entire victorian butterfly roof’d terrace with knackered joists and all. The ‘rotten as a pear’ assumption.
The bad news is that my rough guestimate for a new roof was *wildly* inaccurate. Laughably so.
The other bad news is that it was wildly inaccurate in the wrong direction; I was assuming it’d cost *way* more than the roofers think it’d cost. Arse. This now means that if the survey throws up the roof as being nadgered that I then actually will think ‘hrm, best get a quote from a couple of roofers’.
Oh balls. Oi! Universe! Stop tempting me!
