I have long held this great fantasy of buying an old decrepit craftsman and restoring it, but this might actually remind me of how much work it would be. heh.

Thanks for the reminder. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this. I'm so glad somebody was interested enough to prod me.
That picture is the house. One day I'll actually get to landscape the front and back yards. :)

The price for the roof went up for a few reasons. 1) I asked the roofers to add a two foot overhang on the first and second level roofs, to help keep rainwater away from the walls. This constituted $800 of the increase. 2) In the process of tearing off the second floor roof they found rotten wood that needed replacing, and the discovered that, unlike the first floor, the second floor didn't have joists they could tie the overhang into, so that have to run all new joists the length of the roof. Plus (as I suspected) the existing skylight had holes which were couldn't be fixed, so the the skylight is being replaced. This all constituted the other $1,200.

I purchased all the material necessary to install the new railing on the first floor roof.

I have a dream about winning the lottery and buying an already restored Craftsman.
I guess we're just different like that.
