Voting Question: How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost? Estimate?
There’s a home we’re looking at in the Central Maine area- not huge. About 1000 square feet or so, bungalow style. We just had a post-contract inspection (we can get out of it if there’s a major issue) and the inspector told us that there are three layers of shingles on the roof, and that they need to be “stripped” and a new layer put down. I have NO idea of what kind of cost we’re looking at. Is this big enough to warrant scrapping the contract? I will of course get some professional estimates later in the week, but can anybody clue me in as to what we MIGHT be looking at cost wise, especially in the Millinocket area if you’re familiar with Maine. Labor rates etc? Is this likely to really reeeeally expensive? Any insights would be appreciated.

Resolved Question: sewage backup, I have a huge problem.?
First off, I rent, I donot own this duplex. Earlier this morning I went downstairs to see my neighbour and noticed there was a few inches of water coming from their laundry room. I knocked and nobody was home. So I phoned the landlord and told him, he told me to call a plumber asap. So I did just that. I went back upstairs to perform a few tests because I was concerned it was sewage. It did not smell very bad, and it did not smell the best either so I thhought maybe it was tap water. I tried the taps and it seemed a little bit of extra water came out. I tried the toilet and BAM, quite a bit of water poured out. So I called my landlord back and told him it was toilet water coming out, and he told me tophone the city too since they were working on the street this morning. So a few hours passed and finally the city truck shows up. They told me they can’t do anything tonight because it was waste water and they sent the wrong type of truck. The guy told me the health inspector is gonna have to be called, and they might end up having to do work to the house. So, my neighbour returned home, and I immediately told him the situation. He talked to the landlord and told him he was gonna have to call the health inspector since he has kids down there and doesn’t want his place unfit to live in. The landlord told him if he did that, he was gonna have to move out. Then the landlord came over and started sucking out the waste water in their place with a shop vac type vacuum, and dumping it on the front lawn. Firstly I wanna know if it’s gonna be a health hazard for me (drinking water?), and what me and my neighbour should do about the situation? It seems to me like our landlord is trying to make the place look good enough for the health inspector so he isn’t forced to pay for all the damages properly. He’s been down there sucking gallons of waste water out for hours now and just casually pouring it onto the lawn. Thoughts? questions? BTW, I live in Alberta, canada so our laws with thhis kind of thing are probably different. But I’d assume it’s a environmental hazard for him to be pouring sewage onto the front lawn, and against the law for him trying to ccover his tracks so he doesn’t have to pay for new drywall or anything.
