Shit + Fan = Our Nightmare

Oh boy... Where do I even begin?

I worked days the last 2 days while the framers worked tiressly on our house. They have been sheeting the roof in near hurricane strength winds and working weekends to try to catch up from last weeks blast of winter. 

Jake was off the last 2 days so he could be around in case we had any problems with the house, plus our windows were delivered on Monday, yay!! 


Jake has been excellent at sending me photographic updates while I was at work. Greatly appreciated!

Although a picture he sent me today, had me thinking... 

Here's the picture, and then I'll point out the problem. 

Front porch looks great, plywood going up, great! But wait a second... Something doesn't look quite right. 

Have a look at what the front of our house is supposed to look like:

And again, here's what it's actually looking like:

Notice anything missing? Maybe the entire roof?! The pitch is WAY off. Someone f'd up, and f'd up huge. 

So after countless tears, phone calls, texts and emails to my dad, framer and roof truss sales guy at 9pm... All but one of us have determined that things aren't right. 

Have a look from the back:
What it should look like...

And what it actually looks like...

Me, my dad, the framer and the roof guy are all meeting out at the house first thing to play the blame game... This is a game I don't want to win.
