Oh man. That sucks major! Thankfully, your hubby has some roofing experience so that'll save you major moola!

When we bought our home, the previous homeowners apparently owned a lot of cats. Well, those cats didn't always use the litter boxes for bodily functions and went all over the house and on the shelves around the garage. So the first thing we had to do was remove all the carpet, remove and replace drywall along the edges, and install new carpet. For the garage, we had to completely remove and reinstall all the insulation and drywall (including some posts because the urine had soaked through that badly in some spots) and purchase ammonia removing stuff to scrub down the garage flooring.

Uh I'm sorry!! Hopefully hubs can fix it easily!

About three months after we bought our house we got a HUGE water bill. Like over 5 times what it should have been. So we knew we had a leak but we didn't know where. Turns out it was under the concrete slab in our kitchen! They had to rip out half the kitchen, drill through the slab and replace the pipe. It was such an ordeal and really upset me. But thank God homeowner's insurance covered everything. I heart Farm Bureau : )

Oh my gosh! I can't believe they didn't catch that in the inspection when you bought your house, I would be a little peeved at that! Luckily your DH can fix it and save on that cost for now!

And YAY for rain, we are in desperate need here in Nebraska, send some over if you can

oh no that's crappy! hope it won't be expensive to fix. Well when we came in our house, we changed the shower head and the shower started leaking in the basement. We realized that the shower doors weren't sealed properly (but with the old shower head, water wouldn't reach there)

Oh the joys!!!

Oh no! We had our walkthrough and realized there was a dead animal under the house, and when we had somebody out to dispose of it they pointed out the 15 breezeway entrances all around our crawlspace and numerous other unsealed entrances all around the house for vermin to crawl in under our house and into our attic and our walls and die. So we had to spend $1200 to get everything sealed off with mesh, etc. Then we moved in and there were a million gargantuan flies all over, probably from whatever had last died in the house. There is no dryer vent and no place FOR a dryer vent due to an addition the flippers put on the house, so we're currently venting out dryer into an indoor dryer kit that creates hot humid air all up in our garage. We're having a contractor out this weekend to see if there's anything we can do but even if there is, it will cost a million dollars. And when we bought our electric garage door opener they discovered the garage door had been put on completely incorrectly so it cost us another $400 in addition to the opener to fix. That and a persistent leak under our kitchen sink, a phantom leak under our dishwasher, and numerous shitty jobs done all around the house (crooked switchplates, a crooked front door that I can't fix that lets hot air in through a 1/4 inch crack on the bottom third of our left doorframe, loose kitchen and bathroom sink faucets) makes for a very joyful homeownership! But we still love out house

I hope your roof proves to be simple and cheap to fix for now!!

@MrsBrewer: ouch!!! no we had suspended ceilings so it was easy to fix.
