  Sep 29, 2004: Action I performed  
Day two of the great roof odyssey, and this time they were right on time at 7:30am. We were awakened by foul language and graphic discussions regarding oral sex. Even after I shut the window and the blind, they only paused and then resumed their trash talk. Howie said to let it go until they were all done, then complain to the company.

They were sub-contractors, but they still represent the roofing company, and that kind of language is totally unprofessional when customers are within earshot.

The job we were promised would take one day took two, plus they did not clean up the roofing nails from our home's perimeter; the contract specifically noted that they would go around the house with a magnet not once, but two times. There are nails on the patio, right in plain view, as well as on walkways around the foundation.

The gutter crew is separate, and we were originally told they usually come out the day after the roof's done. The roofing crew left some shingle bundles and equipment behind, so who knows...Maybe those are property of Company C and the gutter crew is bringing it all back with them?

We're pretty disappointed in their professionalism thus far and wonder who we can get to take a look at the work up close to see if it looks like good workmanship.

On an UP note, though, we signed a contract on replacement windows today: Rosati Windows. It'll take 6-8 weeks for them to be built and ready; we hoped it wouldn't be that long, but business has been good for the company, plus our windows have the woodgrain laminate being added to the inside, which adds a little time to the order.

Here's a before and during shot of the roof. More to come!
