Help Jack around the house :)
Hello! I'm Jack and honestly this is rather embarrassing for me. I've always tried my best to not openly ask for much help. So I’m not sure where to begin... in no way is this a beg for help. But the repairs I need are far out of my immediate reach anything to help would rock and I don't expect anything. If you'd ike to purchase any items I'm selling please let me know.
I guess I’ll start with a little about myself and my story - I'm a 28 year old computer specialist and work for a great company in the North Canton area - I love my job and have tried my best to get where I’m finally at in life. I have a lot of hobbies from car stuff and playing guitar to hanging out with my girlfriend and my best friend Josh and my dog - Claymore.
Unfortunately it isn't all sunshine in the least; my life has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. I lost my mother at the age of eleven and was taken care of all my life by my father Jack E. Before he passed away In October of 2014... We had no money... and he had no funeral. The greatest person I have ever known with the biggest heart passed away with nothing to give but his love and unfortunately my home was now in shambles and I had no way of fixing much of the damage so I’m reaching out to you all.
My father was an amazing person and helped as many people as he could, even if it meant hurting himself. Some of the people he let stay took a major toll on the house leaving much damage to my house and we could never afford to fix it. Along with natural damage overtime the house has become hurt. My roof Leaks, the siding is destroyed and the electrical needs redone very badly... Even with my wonderful job I do not have the monetary amounts needed to cover such things. With the disposalable income I make it would take me far too long to save up enough to fix it before it all comes crashing down. So with that said I guess I’ll lower my head and my pride and ask for help.
Here are a few quick facts about my particular Costs and why I have reached the amount of money In my GoFundMe campaign
Angies.com has these things to say
Shingles (Roof is leaking and has caused damage inside)
~According to Homewyse, which provides average costs for home improvement projects, the cost per square foot for a shingle roof is between $5.43 and $7.05. That equates to about $1,086 to $1,409 per 200 square feet (or for two squares).
Homewyse estimates the cost and labor for an asphalt roof for a 1,200-square-foot house in larger markets across the country ranges between $4,100 and $6,000.
My house is around 1,400 Square Feet,
Electrical (Needs done very badly)
200-500 sq. ft. Remodel vs. 1000-2000 sq. ft. Remodel
Wiring installation on a remodel job is usually more time consuming than on new construction, adding to the overall cost. The old wiring, fixtures, outlets, and switches must be removed before the new ones can replace them. Sometimes wires must be fished through walls and ceilings. This process can try the patience of the most saintly electrician, and is never an easy task to accomplish. The size of the project can make a considerable difference in the cost of completion. A 200-500 square foot space can typically be done for $231 to $1010, while a 1000 to 2000 square foot area will average between $574 and $2503, depending on the complexity of the project.
Siding (In very poor shape and broke in many places)
Siding cost
While repairing a damaged piece of siding is a task homeowners can tackle on their own, dealing with a full home replacement due to underlying dry rot or moisture problems is best left to a siding professional. Your total cost determination starts with your choice of siding - vinyl, for example, runs between $200 and $300 for one hundred square feet. For a 2,200-square-foot home, you're looking at a base cost of between $6,000 and $8,500. Add to this cost the removal and disposal of any existing siding — $1,000 to $3,000 — and the cost of extras such as fascia, soffits, trim and crown molding. Some contractors will provide these extras for free, while others will charge between $3 and $6 per linear foot.
On top of that I will be selling off some things I may have around the house. Antiques and such. If someone would like to Donate I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you would like to purchase something then please, it all helps. I'm tired of being scared of where I live and how I'm going to afford to fix it all by myself.
