It will be a big job.
The roof is old and needs to be re-shingled. Patching it really isn't an option.

That's why I have homeowner's insurance. Hopefully that will cover it, as it's about $9000 to do.

EDIT: and the melodrama at home has also ramped up now- apparently my son has decided to stick his nose into the conflict between my daughter and their mother. I had to firmly tell him to butt out of it last night. This was followed by a bit of scotch to settle my nerves, which resulted in me oversleeping this morning...
