But in my experience, contractors tend to be rather careless.<br /><br />I am somewhat comforted by the apparently dry condition of the attic insulation... and more comforted by the fact that I retain 50% of the money until the job is finished to my satisfaction.J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-67457991146458347002012-04-12T16:33:31.142-06:002012-04-12T16:33:31.142-06:00The least is, that he should fix everything with n...The least is, that he should fix everything with no extra charge. Oh must be so stressful for you. :(<br /><br />I remember, when we were alone at home as kids with my sister, and such a huge storm hit the town, that the neighbour's chimney crashed to our house's roof, and a lightning hit the same neighbour's tree. :( <br /><br />I hope it turns out all good in the end!Mary Poppinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358928165518697862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-73084639323826074392012-04-12T16:33:08.780-06:002012-04-12T16:33:08.780-06:00That is just pure laziness!

Cutting that corner has bitten the roofer in the ass this time.<br />I shouldn't think you need any advice on what to do now as you've already started collecting evidence for anyone who may need to see it in the future... Tell your insurer, etc.<br /><br />Something similar has just happened here actually. My builder has just stripped the roof off an outbuilding and left it unprotected and of course we've had heavy rain. Fortunately there was nothing much inside to take harm - my log supply has got a bit wet though. Meh, at least he did a decent job of protecting the electrics from the wet.<br /><br />I've experienced the full horror of a burst pipe in the attic so I know what can happen with regard to water damage. I can only guess at how how you feel toward the roofer!<br />Keep us posted,<br />Big sympathy,<br />Orlando.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
