Looks like another Builder in training.
Doesn't quite meet section R905.

Wonder how they think sometimes.

That's the OKIE retirement fund, job security, hold back method.

When work gets slow they migrate down to Texas, we're getting it from both directions.

Dang illegal aliens!

Carl; What does it have to do with what is on the dog house.
Pardon my ignorance. S.V.P.

Your teasing me Marcel .
They do not stay warm in a tree they come into your home Toronto has millions and they must love them because they are protected big time .
Some people call them Squirrels .
The inspection I did on Thursday a 6 plex had more then you could count .
Looked like a thousand yes a thousand in and out and all around they went
where they stop no one knows.

Marcel:

Dog houses are not inspected by city codes officials! Might be a better reason for it being that way!

No reason even a dog deserves better!

Maybe that would be more their size to inspect and they forgot to look at the House. ha. ha.

So the bulider comes out to look at the roof today, and tells the owner that "its fine there is a 3" leeway for the felt paper, thats what the starter course shingle is for"
