| Topic | New roof leaked and now I have interior damage. Should roofers cover this? |
| IdiotMachine 08/30/21 12:05:53 PM #22 | Finally found an independent Hagg inspector who's willing to write up a report, and for me to use that report in a lawsuit (in the event it goes that far). He's charging $150/hr, including travel time. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/30/21 10:59:36 AM #21 | IdiotMachine posted... I called another roofing company, and paying them $550 for a full written roof inspection. Hopefully they can write up that it was negligence / improper installation of the flashing to result in this leak.They retracted, and said they won't do this for the purpose of using their report against another contractor. So I called 6 different roofing contractors and was upfront on why I want to have a written report, and none of them said they'll do it. One said I should contact a Haag inspector... So I searched up Haag inspectors, and called 4 of them, and none of them said they work with clients directly, but that I should call insurance. Then I called insurance, and they said I have to file a claim, get an adjuster out, then the adjuster will determine whether or not to get a Haag inspector. I asked if this will affect my insurability and my premiums, and they said it might... Ugh. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/29/21 5:23:46 PM #18 | ClunkerSlim posted... Fuck yeah they should cover it. Are you kidding me? Go get a fucking lawyer and an estimate to fix the damage. NOW.They said they're coming Wednesday to repair the roof and take a look inside. If they flat out say they won't fix it, I'm going to go get estimates from restoration companies, then send that to them for them to pay. If they don't pay or don't fix it, I'm going to pay to fix it myself, then go to small claims court. --- |

I'm taking records of all my messages and e-mails I sent to the roofing company. Unfortunately, I don't have the roofing inspector telling me that it's their fault (for not installing the flashing properly) on tape or anything... --- |

| Topic | New roof leaked and now I have interior damage. Should roofers cover this? |
| IdiotMachine 08/28/21 10:48:53 PM #1 | Got a new roof, less than 2 months ago. It leaked pretty badly today (literal bubbled up paint, which I popped, and streams of water came down continuously), and now I have interior damage (ceiling and drywall). Roofing company came out, and verbally determined that the roof installers didn't install the metal flashing properly, and they need to re-do that. I asked about the interior damage, and he said no promises. Roofers are coming back on Wednesday to repair the roof. Now my question is, should they cover the damage to my ceiling and walls? I mean if the roof was old (like several years or older), I would say they're off the hook, but literally a couple months old? I think they should absolutely cover this. If not, I'm considering a small claims court... *EDIT*: Since 2 months ago, today was the first large rain storm in the area, by the way. I've had light rain before, and no visible leaks (probably were leaks into the attic though). --- |

| Topic | Generally, do all female chickens lay eggs? |
| IdiotMachine 08/25/21 10:59:42 PM #8 | Another_Voice posted... All female chickens lay bright orange or greenish colored eggs. The number of eggs per season vary based on the hen's age. Did you know that some females can even lay brown or white eggs? Generally, the older the hen, the greater the size of the eggs she will lay. All young hens start out with red colored eggs and as they grow older, they gradually lay larger eggs that have a yellowish tint.I feel like youre trying to trick me. Ive never seen an egg thats not white or brown and 500 eggs a week for one chicken?! That cant possibly be true. --- |
