Home and Auto Need a new roof!

Well, this sucks. I need a new roof.

Granted it's not 100% crap yet, but I don't anticipate it lasting through the next winter. about 40% of my shingles have lost the asphalt and are curling.

When I bought this house I planned to live in it for 5 years and split. Circumstances have changed due to the job market and I will need to live here for at least a couple more years.

I've only lived in my house for 5 years and only have about 6K in equity.

I've added up the square footage (minus the slope) of the house at 1996. I searched the interwebs for calculators and I see that I'm going to need about 60 squares + other crap. Unless my math is wrong that's almost $4,500 just in shingles!

I've looked into teh HUD 203K, but don't think I'd qualify.

Besides a home equity loan anyone have any good ideas on financing?
