Jim,

That was not very nice!

He might not be a good roofer but he takes great pictures.

James, fortunately my client didn't buy that house and called me 3 weeks later to do another inspection for him.

That's the kind of business I like.

Some days are like that.

I wonder what they were trying to do with all that tar did they keep as much water out as they trapped in?

Carl the house was a mess.

Moisture and water damage in numerous places. What a surprise.

On top of that it had an FP electrical panel.

Carl, you shouldn't talk about yourself that way.

You're the master flasher.
