    NSD.

    The conservation officer has instructed that the second house has its new roof removed and the old one reinstated. The value of that one has dropped 20k!

    Does that make you any more - or - any less interested in 2nd house???
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    How much would the roof cost to do though? Depends on the value of the hassle factor to you.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Still, that's a fuel bargain for Al. I think she is secretly bankrolling GG to go to the middle east - you'd easily be able to bribe a few OPEC sheiks with the money she is saving on dinosaur bones :rotfl:
