The entire structure is a defect catalog from A to Z, I did not know where to start! Owner worked hard, but had no clue (or permits). Will post a few other gems tomorrow.

Man, you can't do a roof that wrong by accident. Was the owner somehow, either physically or mentally "not right"? I mean, you would have had to never seen a roof before to do this so wrong. Is this some kind of a joke?

I question the buyer's mental stability.
