Well as some of you know I have a stick in my roof/ceiling. Well I went up on the roof yesterday to have a look and found I don't have just one but I have 2 of them in my roof.Now I have to do the waiting game. I have to get estimates on the cost to fix, which will take forever then wait on FEMA and red cross to see if they will throw some money at me and hope it doesn't rain or snow before they all get there things lined up. I'd fix it now but if I do then thats just throwing money away but if I don't it may cost more. I just love to hate the govorment and the way they do thing

Hey old, glad your feeling better. Well sort of. I can't believe some of the comments on here. I used to live in an older mobile home and you're right. The insurance is rediculous. You could have a brand new mansion with an attached garage and pay about a third what it would cost for a mobile. Try to get someone to fix the furnace. Most won't even come to look at it. An act of nature damaged your roof and you are looking into programs that can help you to get it fixed. That's why they have these programs. How fast they act to help is another story. Did I get this right? You can be assured that if any of these people getting on your case had their house damaged by something beyond their control they'd be looking for help as well. As far as getting handouts, these people should be more informed. You are a vet and fought for your country. That should mean something. All the refugees that come are given money and other help to get them established. I knew a guy that spent about 10 years in jail. When he got out he got $10,000 from the gov't so he could get re-established. His dad was a millionaire! All you want is a little help to get your roof fixed. It certainly doesn't deserve all the flack you're getting. Hopefully it won't take too long to get all the red tape sorted out. Good Luck! If only the roof was steel... You could weld it solid and never have to worry about it. Hang in there! Dave

Old,
Please list the tractors and equipment that you have for sale along with the condition and price.
Maybe some of the guys on this board can buy one or two to help get you on your feet.
God bless.....

Re: Stick in roof/ceiling trouble in reply to old, 01-23-2007 08:44:42

How are you disabled? You are able to get on the roof to see 2 holes. You can get on and ride old, rough riding tractors. You cant afford to fix your roof but you pay for internet access and have your own website. Apparently you can type so you could take some classes and do medical transcription for work and make well over your $1000 a month welfare. Heck you can even do alot of stuff from home on your computer.

I am sick if seeing people taking advantage of the "system". There are programs to get you work. I am also tired of seeing "handicap" people at walmart pushing out carts full of crap out to their big 4 wheel drive diesel pickups.

This country is going to he!! in a handbasket.

Go get a job.

I think, if you can't treat folks nicely in this forum, that you'd be lots better off in some other location than here! Obviously you have an inflated idea of your worth, which, from your post-isn't much! Go pester somebody in another forum, not us! Or, better yet, leave the country! I'm quite sure we could get enough donations to buy you a ticket to Afghanistan, or Iraq, or another location, where you can spew yer crap to the media!

You judge but you have no idea much if any thing about me. Yes I can get on my roof, yes I can walk some, yes I use my tractors BUT. That all you know about me. A doctor forced me to retire not me, I've tried to find work but so far no luck. Walk in my shoes for a month and see where you would be, I'm sure you would find out if you could that its no fun being in pain 24-7. Not being able to do the thing you did just 10 years ago and 75% of it because of a crime and the guy that did it never so much as spent a minute in jail. Unless you can see and know every thing there is about a person you shouldn't judge him and I know none of you guy really know me you just know what I say here.

I didn't understand being able to work on tractors, hunt, tractor pull and also the ability to climb on the roof and still be too disabled to work. However, if all you say is true and you need a couple hundred dollars to fix your roof, post your home phone number and I'll call for an address, or post your address and either way I'll send a check. I'd rather help someone whom from all appearances appears to be a good person rather than send everything to New Orleans where they could very easily use the money to buy drugs or guns to shoot someone.

James Thanks, and you know what and why I'm saying this. Ya I can do some stuff but not much for a long period of time. When you called I was moveing a hay bale and as you can see I'm back in the house again. I can do about an hour on a tractor and then have to get off and take it easy for 2 or 3 hours before I can do much more.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Well I almost always post my web site and my info is in it. I don't want money form people but figureew red cross and FEMA are set up to help. Ya just a couple hundred would do the job and figure thats why theres red cross and FEMA. Be lieve me I wish I could work a full time job but I can't. I can wrok on tractors etc because I can do it for say and hour then walk away from it till tomorrow. I never spend more then a few hour a day playing with/on the tractors and I haven't found a job yet that will let you work till you have to stop and let you then walk away and sit down etc.

Old I mean no offense. Thats why i asked about your disability. I was awaiting your response. Maybe my priorities in life are different than yours. If I had a hole in my roof I would make sure it got fixed right away to avoid other damage. Even if I had to give up my Internet access for some time or even sell something cheaper than usual to ensure a quick sale.

The job situations I gave were merely suggestions but I can see how they could seem as personal attacks, for which I apologize, But If you are a vet or have a disablity there are programs to get you work. Where are you located? Job service can get you training into a job that will allow you to better yourself. If there is nothing where you are, then move to a place where you can better yourself.

Hi Keith-OR, dont feel this reply was because of anything you said. Old replied on his own he doesnt need a babysitter.

First off I can't begin to afford to move even if I wanted to. I inherted the land I own and its family land so I'll keep it. Right now I'm in a program tring to get a job Voc-rehab but again no luck so far. Its very hard to find or do work when you have to be able to sit when you need to and then stand when you need. I can't sit or stand for long periods of time and have to get up and down a lot which doesn't work for getting work. Yes theres a lot of things I can do if I can do them on my terms which doesn't work for a job. I've lived with this since 1995 and had surgury on Jan. or 1996 which did make thigs better but thats all at least I can now walk on my own. Most of what I have now is because when I got my SSDI I got a big check and I tried to use it so I could make money down the road and it did work till gas prices got so high and I haven't sold a tractor in years. And yes I will fix the roof NO MATTER WHAT but I would like to do it the right way the first time not just put a temp. fix on it and have to do it over and over again. As I said walk in my shoes a month and then say what you have said. Judge me like you have and you will maybe pay for it latter. Judge not less you be judged is what the good book says. Think about it some time. A week ago people wanted to know what happened to me and offered help now people want to shot me because I'm tring to get help. Go figure

Thank You for further explaining your problem. You shouldnt get upset if you only give half of a story and ask for support and not expect people to voice their opinion. I was not the first to go down this line but I am the one getting the most crap. I started out by asking the question of what is your disablity. be mad at me if you like but now all the nay-sayers know the history. Not of how it happened, but of the results. It is easier to offer assistance if we know the full story. you never said anything in the first reply to me about what your true situation was. That being said:

I wish you luck with your continued improvement with your health and hope everything goes well with getting the roof repaired quickly. If you were close I would come over to help with your roof.

I work for myself during the week but spend most of my weekends helping neighbors that need it. But I have been burned by people that say they have no money, have some form of a disability, and complain loudly trying to make people feel sorry for them. So i am a little hardened on this subject. Look around even you have to see that things in America arent as good as they used to be.

I will post no longer here.

Hey Nora, Springs,IA individual, whats the matter can't even post your name, I can't understand someone that has something to say, but not enough guts to post who you are.

And how do you know that the individuals you are so invious of are on disability or not working. OH! maybe they have a handicapp sticker in their window allowing them to park where they don't have to walk to far....You ever stop to think maybe some of these people that you so readily condemn might be some of our disabled was Vets, someone that was in auto accident, hurt on the job and or born with major medical disabilities.

I see the likes of you everyday when I work with the Special Olympics handicapp, looking down your nose at these people, staring...Get off your damn high horse and give these people a chance to enjoy their life as best they no how.

And further more you are making an assumption that Old got on his roof, he does have a wife and a young son, maybe??? You and a few others keep whinning about he can afford to have a computer and internet., older computer system are a dime a dozen and lots of ISP providers for less than $10.00 an month..

Read his first post. "i was up on the roof" Enough said about that.

As for my high horse, there isnt one. I Served in the military over 7 years and would have stayed had my daughter not had problems at birth that required us to move. You seem to be the one jumping to conclusions. I donate time and money to the needy and the truely disabled. If you can climb on your roof and can type on computer there are jobs out there for you.

As for the handicap sticker people it was an observation and my own personal opinion that if you need special parking spot because your back hurts to walk too far, or your knees are bad, you dont need to be getting in a Tall 4wd pick-up and pushing a loaded cart of crap. Buy a Smaller car to help with your comfort and not a rough and tall truck that Is generally harder for a non-handicapped individual to get in.

There was nothing said to you anyway I simply asked Old what his disabilty was and voiced my opinion, as others on here have, and asked for a response. Do you know him personally? I dont. I wanted an answer. If he was on the roof as he stated he was 1/2 way to getting his roof temp fixed. he's waiting for a hand out. Thats my opinion.

now that I am speaking to you, you should respond otherwise let old speak for himself.

Let me say this please. Yes I'm disabled but I'm not dead, I have my pride and I do as much for my self as I can. Yes I can get up on my roof, its almost flat and yes I can sit here and type on the computer for an hour r so. But then I have to get up and do something else. If you where to look on my self above my special chair you would see about 15 bottles of pills. Yes some I don't take often because I hate takeing pills for pain. Some I have to take daily, one for high blood preassure and one for stomach problems. I have a bad back and my L-5-S-1 dics has been removed. I have 2 bad knees and my right shoulder is shoot. Most disable people hate it that they can't do what they did once but we also do our best to do as much as we can for our selfs and in my case also for others. Yes I hunt yes I drive tractors, doctor gets mad when he heres I have, yes I do a lot of other things. But it takes me a week to do what it took me years ago to do in a day.
I'm not asking for a hand out but I,m asking for a hand up so I can keep liveing the way I do. If I don't keep active I have to go the phycal threrphy and guess waht thats payed for by medicare so it costs the tax payer even more so I keep as active as I can so I don't have to see doctors and do the other stuff.

Yeppers,I claim to be a friend of Old's, even though never having the oppertunity to personal meet him. I was raised old school, you stick up for friends,family and neighbors. And try not to judge a book by it's cover. I commend you for your service time. I enlisted Feb.1959 final ETS April 28,1968 US Army, Life time member of the DAV.

And if I remember correctly this is an open forum, and I do not recall Old responding personally to you either. No disrespect intended!!

I deal with handi-capp each and everyday, have a son born with cerebral-palsi and brain damage, now 20 soon to be 21 (Shawn), It has been an honor to be his father and getting to know his friends. Am active with the Special Olympics in my area, which is a great honor and privelige to work with these wonderful kids and adults (kids).I donot donate money nor time, I get the priveliege of them sharing their time with me!!

I have always tried not to judge another untill I walked in their shoes.

You own a farm,lots of farm equipment,horses,computer and website so I really can't see why you'd expect the gov't to fix something minor like a hole or two in the roof.Then again maybe I should have called the gov't to mow the field of hay for me that blew down flat last year during a thunderstorm.

Ya and a lot of the tractors etc. are for sale and have been for years. Now if the sold which they aren't then it would be a differant story. The big problem here is you judge me but you only see a small very small part of who I am and what my life is. Theres a few old sayings that come to mind. Walk a mile in the other persons shoes.

If the tractors aren't 'selling' you probably need to lower the price if you really want to sell.The gov't (TAXPAYERS) can't do everything for everyone all the time. When Hurricane Isabelle came thru a couple years back I spent the best part of a week cutting trees and repairing fences never occured to me to expect FEMA to step in and I'm far from a Spring chicken with some physical problems but hey its up to me to let them limit what I do or not and when I can't take care of things I'll sell out and move to a situation I can handle. And as a side note with the US being 3 trillion in debt I'd be looking to get far less from the gov't in the future rather than more.

My taxes pass muster with the IRS just fine and I don't get paid a dime for not growing anything.

Even if he had insurance may have a deductable. I've seen a lot of good people on some stupid low fixed income and have worked all there lives. They can't make money grow and don't deserve to be treated as second rate citizens. We all need to realize that most people are one bad deal away from needing some help. I beleave if what he says is truth he deserves some help. Most of the time when someone pi$$ing and moaning about someone getting help it's because they don't know what it's like to be down and out. Even if Uncle Sam gives him 500 or 1000 what has it really cost us? Might want to think about taking somthing for nothing when doing taxes this year too, oh wait thats different!!!!!

I have seen were you hammer folks that charge a decent wage for their werk and brag that you only charge $35.00 a hour for your side werk. I spec if I started out the month a grand a head of the game I could werk fer less iffin a cash job so I could still receive my disability. You may be a DAV but I am not sure you ever fought in a war. I fell if one put his self in harms way he should be entitled to receive benefits from the V.A. I believe even if one served he should be entitle to enny benefit that izz available to one who served in the military. I do understand that it wuz a low paying job that may not have lead to better ones self. I spec if I had got a hole in my roof I would not be look�in fer the government to repair it fer me If I claimed to have the ability you have I would be to proud to ask fer help. I will say I know zackly how you fell I do not have insurance on my shop, its my lively hood but if mother nature comes and takes it away I will move on and survive. Looks like to me you are look�in fer a new Home out of the deal did you git sum new shoes you know its OK to loot in a disaster area or izz it only ok in Wez�eanna. I am sure folks here would help if only to shot ya a buck or 2 but it looks like you are not will�in to help yerself. Pop rivets a piece of scrap and sum silicon glue will patch the holes. If the government will help you it don�t make enny difference to me I as soon you have the help as enny one Its EZ to be independent when one has hiz health and hard to understand it when one does not . We have had our spats and you know I will tell ya zackly what I am think�in you will never have to wonder about whats on my mind. If you would post a address I would send you sum funds. I am hard headed a hard a$$ independent as enny one but always will�in to pick up a fellow man if I fell he izz will�in to help hiz self, matter of fact it makes me fell good to help sumone. Question are you will�in to help yerself are you do you spec the government to do it .

I've never said any thing about what some one else cahrges and I understand it you own a dealer ship you have to charge a lot more then what I charge for work because of the over head. Now if things where going well and I was doing some side work it would be one thing but I haven't sold any thing or did a side job in a very long time. Shoot the last time I sold a tractor was 2 years ago and in my area side jobs come once or twice a year. What I can get from red cross isn't all that much but it sure would help. And yes I was not in a war zone but I was in the navy and was in when we where in nam

I have no problem wif enny one who served and wish I had pulled sum time and think all should pull sum time in the service if only a few years I even pushed my son to serve. Enny benefits available you should git�em. Now git up their and patch that hole in the roof it kin not be that hard. I spec it would be harder to patch a hole in a fender. You chose to live in it I lived in one at one time and iffin a tree falls on my shop I will fix it sumway even tho I spent the money I saved on insurance. You seam to offer help to problems asked freely and its only a small hole I would have thunk the post would have been how do I fix this hole, Folks that live in the Carolinas know very well the damage a ice storm kin cause and the damage a hurricane/tornader kin cause.

Fixing the 2 holes I have is not a big deal but, and heres the big one. If theres 2 holes I can see from the limbs and there was more then one that hit then theres sure to be more small holes and to fix that takes doing a complete roof coating and I just plain don't have that type of money at this time. Now if one of my tractor sold it would be no big deal. And of course the other problem is the weather and it needing to be a lot warmer to be able to do much if any thing to it right now. All the stuff I find or have on hand says it needs to be 50 plus out to use it

I'll get it fixed one way or the other just would be nice if I could afford the stuff to do it right. I figure with haveing 2 holes I can see right now theres probably more smaller one up there and I will need to coat the whole roof or it will leak all over the place come summer time when it warms up.

Thats what i was saying. I fugure it will get fixed but i don't know why some on here would begrudge you trying to do a good solid lasting repair instead of a hope it holds and no suprize leaks repair.

I don't beleive you was waiting for a handout, but rather wouldn't it be nice to get a little help so you could afford to do it correctly.

Looks like some of the folks worried about you before are ready to string ya up.

Evey trailer I lived in I had to coat the roof a ice storm had no effect on it, it wuz a fact of life. I just coated my old shop roof its a fact of life. Every motor home I had i had to coat the roof its the way it izz. You either protect yer investment or live wif the damage even then you do the best you kin do. Metal roofs will leak no matter what even shingles leak I don't think their izz such a thang as a roof that will not leak. Ice storm are not in time it will leak.

Well I figure on using some of the foam to fill it and inslulae it with. Then cover with flashing and roof coating. Problem is the flashing is $40 or so and I figure it will take 2 or 3 5 gallion bucket of roof coat at another $40 or so each and right now I don't even have $10 to my name. Some how it cost a lot to get by when thats all your doing and tring to keep warm with no power

I dont answer a lot of posts on here but this one really got to me. How can you be so inconsiderate. He obviously does what he can to get by anyway and its not his fault he cant afford insurance. Thats really a bunch of BS i think, look at it from different angles before you go and say something like that especially to someone who has served this country.

I was just wondering since most are slaming Old for what little FEMA or other agency might help him out a little, How many of you are getting farm subsidy, or crp allowance or any other government give away??? I have a website that shows per state whom has gotten what from the Feds.

I know one large farmer in my area recieved over $100,000 in give aways,and then go to Las Vagas gamble away 50K, while little guy is just making ends meet.

Mexicans come up here illegal, get hurt and go back to Mexico drawing SSI...Go figure!!!!

Old: I hope Fema and Red Crosss can help you guys in the ice damage area. I know what is like to be a victim of something you have no control over. I agree the cost of mobile home insurance is ridicules, also as the mobile home gets older, the coverage is no longer replacement, but actual cash value. I understand how our tax dollars go to help others, but forget to take care of our own. If you are a disabled veteran, you should be moved to the top of line. You have already paid your sacrifice.

Now if it had been multiperil such as wind, fire, hail or even "certified acts of terrorism" I would have been be covered. I even have coverage for fungi and Bacteria damage Gotta read the fine print!!!

Thats exactly what homeowners insurance is for, if you don't have any coverage, then too bad I doubt if the goverment is going to pay for it. We got a homeowners policy through state farm here. Tried to make a claim last year when a piece of roofing steel came off one of our buildings during a wind storm and hit my truck, but they refused to cover it, said they'd only cover it if my truck was inside one of the buildings and the building either fell down on it, or it burned. Also had a tree fall on a camper, and that wasn't covered either.

Years ago I did have insurance but as time went they kept the price going up till it reached a point that I couldn't pay it any more. But at that point I had payed all the interest in the loan so all I'm paying now is the priciple so they don't complain about it. And when you live on less then $1000 a month life is hard and you have to cut corners every place you can

Ya I could just patch it up and it would be ok for a few years but I prefer to fix it the right way and be done with it. By the way the $1500 I quoted was the cheaper insurance that wouldn't even begian to cover what I would think would be needed and would have left so many loop hope that this problem would proably been not covered any how

Hi Old,
Glad to hear you and your family are okay, and that the only major damage is the roof where the tree limb went through it. Hope all goes well and you are able to get some Red Cross / Gov't assistance with or for the repairs. You mentioned something that you had to let the insurance go. Have you checked RVOS, or USAA? Being a veteran you may be able to get a policy at a lower rate than what you mentioned you had to pay.

Hi Old,
I don't have a phone number for RVOS, and now that I think about it they may not have an office in Missouri. They are in Texas and although I have never insured with them my parents and a few others have. USAA is global wide offering insurance, investments, loans, and not sure what all other things. One of the requirements for elegibility is being in the service or a service members family. A phone number for them is 1-800-531-8111. I have content / renters insurance and auto insurance with them and currently have a loan for a vehicle with them with the lowest rate that I could find (car dealer told me he could beat it, but came a little short on delivery). Not sure, but we may switch the home owners policy to them depending on how much it goes up or if it goes up. Give them a call and see what they can do for you. Not everyone likes what they offer, but I've been satisfied so far. LOL, I have had coverage with them in two different states in the US and two different countries. Good Luck with your home repair and hope this helps.
