Is your mechanic and contractor having an affair cause sounds like they both F'ed you over.
Normally I do my own mechanical work, but I've grown lazy the last few years. 3 years ago I put a heater core in my old truck, in February, in the driveway. That was enough to teach me to just pick up an extra day or two at work and pay somebody else to do that job.
The roof, I had a roofer out last fall for the same leak. It's from a dormer, and they always leak. He told me what he would do, and offered to do it for $400, but suggested I attempt it myself first before paying him. I diy'd it as he told me, but doesn't look like it worked. Really need to have the dormer removed and roof patched.
Of course this comes up right after blowing all my spare money on a vacation.
