Default Hurry! the house is being inspected...

And we need a new roof on this mobile home. New roof yesterday, home inspection today. I just can't believe what some people will do. They covered the old metal roof with self adhesive rolled roofing with no roofing cement, no new flashing around the penetrations and there was three vent stacks missing.

Seriously, a little double stick carpet tape ought to resolve any future issues with that installation.

Next time the inspector won't be able to tell.

Maybe they thought you would be blind . . . somewhere around here I've heard that before . . . something like, "Is your inspector blind?" . . . good catch!

Hey Frank, The seller is a contractor!!!!!!!!!! HA HA LOL

This was a flip for him.

Can anyone say, let's license NH contractors!!!!! We need that more than we need licensing of home inspectors.

As someone who owns an old vacation mobile home at the coast, I'm qualified to tell you that the place will be hot as Hades in the summer with that black roof (assuming they fix it and leave it in place).



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt
