Roof Issues

Every day there was a new story about the roof on our soon-to-be new house. First, the little old lady was trying to tell us she wasn't going to give us a new roof anymore because she didn't want to even though she signed a contract saying she would pay for it. Then, they all wanted us to pay half, but we said no. So finally she realized that she had to buy the roof after it failed windstorm inspection. She told her realtor she would put on a new roof, but WOULD NOT upgrade it to a nicer roof if we wanted to pay the difference. She's so stubborn. So, that ticked me off at first, but then Cody and I decided that we'll just take the regular roof and not annoy her about wanting to upgrade anyway.

The next day, our realtor called and said, "It's your lucky day!" The roof company didn't have enough shingles in old type of roof to cover the house, and that if we'd write a $400 check at that very moment, we'd get to upgrade to the architectural roof. I said of course because it wasn't that much to pay for a higher quality roof. So, I run to my realtor's office to give her the check. Then 10 minutes later, I get a call saying they quoted the little old lady wrong. It's not going to be a $400 upgrade, but now it's $950. I was going to have to pay $550 more.... and I said no. We didn't want to pay that much more out of pocket. So at that point we just dealt with the fact that we were getting the regular composition roof. Not even 3 minutes later, my realtor called and said she'd pay the extra for us to get the better roof because we were really good clients that were easy to deal with. How awesome is that? So now, we are getting a brand new architectural roof for only $400! I'm still shocked that she did that for us... what a blessing!! We've been through so much drama with this is old lady, and it's almost over! I can't wait to move in!!!
