Talk to the roofers insurance company. Or a lawyer, They neglected to cover the roof properly.
Or your insurance company may cover you and turn around and go after the roofer's insurance.

Completely agree and your insurance company should do this. Two years ago my house flooded due to a pipe issue. After tearing out the entire downstairs the plumbing company said they could not find any issue and blamed the city of Raleigh. 48 hours later the house flooded again. Initially, when I called the insurance company again the CSR tried to start a new claim, but that was quickly overruled. Insurance company said that since their plumbing company got it wrong everything would be included in the original claim and I would only be responsible for the one deductible. Hope this works out for you John.
 
Subrogate. Deal with your insurance company only. They can fight on your behalf.
 
Question: If the lead (el jefe) of a sub crew doesn't know who they're working for should I allow them on my property? If legit, they were sent to solve problems from the last crew. Told me he was working for "Mr John". Nope, not me, by his own words. Also didn't know how to contact him (my PM). {EDIT, the project manager is not named John}. My patience is running thin.

My day keeps getting ruined. 2:24am my phone rings. I answer it because of possible family issues. It's an automated call from the county sheriff telling me that my pistol purchase permits have been approved, and that they'll be mailed to me. I kind of feel lucky because it only took 4 weeks longer than the 2 weeks they have, by law, to process these permits. On the other hand... they fûcking called me at 2:24am to tell me that they are emailing all this info to "my email address submitted on the application". This is not cool.

BUT...the local gun store does have a shiny new SIG P210 on the shelf. It's mine if they don't have a P226 or P229 next time I'm there.

Just go get your concealed carry license and forget about permits forever.
 
I was going to suggest this but I did not know how it works in NC. We go in, find what we like and walk out with it in hand. Just show them the permit and fill out normal forms.
 
My wife astutely said "Don't expect others to be like you....."

I recently sold my 05 Subaru. I was descriptive in the ad, provided detailed photos; when the family came to look and bought it, I asked them - was my description accurate, do you feel I omitted anything, any surprises? They were very complimentary, appreciated I was completely candid, said my ad and our discussion were spot on.

Fast forward: I am looking at vehicles, been out to see a handful now. I re-re-re-read the ads, closely examine the photos, ask questions before I go to look/drive. Every vehicle I've looked at so far has been an absolute train wreck and the owners (and a well-known Toyota dealer in Apex) have just outright lied. A Tacoma in excellent shape with all maintenance and no needs had an interior re-done by a wild monkey and it's clutch was gone (in addition to the body being thrashed). Another low-mileage Tacoma had solid steel beams for leaf springs and solid rod for front struts, in addition to approx. 568 lbs of extra wiring from the owner's hideous mods (ad said no mods) and the AT shifting... kinda didn't, then banged into each gear. Another Taco was 1-owner, low mileage, well maintained, no issues - except the salvage title, drifting left while underway, and seemed to lack wheel bearings.

Why can't people be honest?
 
Most people are assholic lying axseholes, at least that’s what my cat told me. I was going to buy a couple of land rovers (series ones) last week, the more I talked to the seller the more it became clear they’re garbage. People can’t keep lies straight most of the time.
 
Same with my current 80. Everything the PO said had recently been done actually needed to be done. Most was hidden beyond where I looked. New brakes = needed brakes (and bleeders reamed). PHH done = you will find the Wits' End replacement in the bottom of the parts box with the correct lug nuts that had been replaced with aftermarket junk. It's been fun.
 
In all seriousness this is what inadequate training looks like.
 
Not trying to stir a pot, but this was clearly a breakdown on multiple levels. Unfortunately I know many teachers who deal with students with this type of discipline issue. Not saying that this child wasn't being properly managed on his plan, but im going to be honest, many children are failed at home first, they are not disciplined and then are sent to a school where they have no respect for their teachers or administrators staff, and then when they are disciplined, then the parents cry fowl and it is the staff and police who are the bad guys. In this case it appears the primary breakdown was the school, not the officer. I know he is 8, but he did strike a teacher and, unlike when i was growing up, that teacher can't just grab him by the ear and tune him up, their only recourse is to call the authorities to "handle" them. I have friends in law enforcement and one who is a school resource officer, and i can tell you 99% of them will tell you that they are handicapped in their ability to respond. Trained to deal with adult offenders, not lippy children. The fact that we now have to have uniformed officers in schools should tell you that we have an issue. I don't remember ever seeing the police at my school, unless it was career day or field day.

I read the article and watched the video (no sound so I couldn't hear tone, which may be very important), and not knowing what happened before or after, the officer seemed to treat the boy with respect and a light hand, was it necessary, no, but the school should have handled it. When he got taken to the office, the admin should have said, "oh yeah he has a special plan, sorry we didn't tell you. We will take care of this" By the time the officer got there, he had his job to do.

My opinion, parents don't want to deal with their unruly child, but instead of reinforcing the consequences of his actions, they are suing the police and school to "make a point". If my kid gets arrested for hitting a teacher, she will spend the night in jail/juvi so we won't have to have that conversation again..

Are there power hungry A-hole cops, sure, hell there power hungry A-holes in every occupation, they are just all out in the public these days. I apologize for the lengthy post, but most of them are just doing their job.

What?
 
Hands are tied. Limited recourse. Like golf, a handicap through a system that holds them back from dominating a playing field. At least that’s how I saw the pot stirring comments that rang true for my past experiences with the juvenile system, the state, and biological parents. Good times I will never relive in this lifetime.
