    That's funny.

    Send them to the eye doctor..

    Bet it was the lowest bid, if not a DIY.
    The opinions expressed by me are not that of my employer.

    Not up to PBS standards

    That's not the way they showed 'em doing it on "Ask This Old House"-GEO

    Funny, I made my first tool shed with roofing on it and it was my first time doing this. Only one level of roofing tiles were slightly off, the rest lined up perfectly. These guys got ALL of the roofing tiles misaligned. BTW, I like construction...especially when its done right. I am a previous helicopter mechanic by trade from long ago. In that industry, EVERYTHING has to be perfect

    They should have gotten the boys from south of the border, they usually do a better job.

    They better come back and rip all of that right back off. It also looks like there are a few layers of shingles already on the roof that they went over. I've seen a lot of ugly roofs lately but that may take the cake.
