Ok. Just had the HVAC guy over to the house to have a look. Looks like the furnace needs to be replaced, which in my opinion isn't necessarily a bad investment. The wife does not like being cold one bit and replacing it will help with the circulation of air in the house as well. Not an expense we were looking for but one that we kind of knew we'd have to do based on the inspection. It was clearly showing rust and some parts didn't fit together properly, also it was leaking from areas it wasn't supposed to be leaking from.
Now the roof... we'll have to get a second opinion on getting the bathroom vents done. It won't do to have them going just into the attic. To go through the roof however is a bit troublesome since there's 3 layers of shingles there. The roofer that my wife had take a look at it previously said that we'd need to replace the works, however we know a few people that had the same situation we did and just did it. They're fine, so I expect that we were just being upsold. Maybe if the 2nd/3rd opinions come back the same way we'll consider it more seriously but this is a major expense that we weren't planning on so if it can be dodged then good on us.
