Shingles Vs. Wind - Part 3

Well... It's 11:00am.... My Builder still hasn't called me (even after our phone message and e-mail of actual video footage of our shingles in the wind...)...

For some reason I thought they would be jumping on this 'issue' ASAP.


Huh.

Please... DON'T sue!



We'd like to apologize for any harm that may have come to you this day.



We're sure all you wanted to do was take your tiny breed dog for a quick walk down the block for them to get some exercise and pee..... When out of nowhere a sheet of shingle squished your beloved animal to near death (*fingers crossed* that it's on the better half of 'near'!)....



We're sure all you were doing was running to your car to grab some extra change for the pizza guy (for who would drive in 90+km/hr wind??!) when you were smacked right across the head with a flying chunk of shingle....



We're sure that your house, siding, windows, door, railings, cars, animals and whatnot were minding their own dang business when some form of of roofing material ended up hitting, rubbing, wreaking something of yours.



And for the above, we'd like to send you our sincere apologies.



Please feel free to give our Builder a call..... And let them know of your frustrations as ours may not be enough for them to understand...



So far we have a scratched up, huge side window from shingles scratching down it.... A wreaked roof.... Missing shingles (that kindly scattered our neighborhood).... And frustrations that go beyond words.



Thank you for your time.... And we truly do hope that everything recovers, buffs out, etc. well!



Sincerely,
Your Roofing-Shingle-Attacking-Neighbors.

Shingles Vs. Wind - Part 2

Tyler collected a few of the shingles that took flight off of our house.... Made it 5 houses down (and quite possibly more, this was all he could find in a calm break):


I have had to move Emma into Zoë's room as the major part of the 'wave' banging from the shingles is right over Emma's bedroom. Sweet huh??! You can hear the 'wave' (as I like to call it) throughout the whole house... And our neighbors can hear it in their house as well (lucky us for the next few days).....


I predict a few days of no sleep (as the girls aren't used to sharing a room)... And a lot of trouble on Monday dealing with the Builder.


The funny thing? A few days ago in the mail we received our survey on how our experience has been with our builder. We have to rate them... And it's a huge deal! *LOL*


Yup.


OH! AND it snowed. Yippee!

UPDATE 6:30pm: So I went for a quick stroll around our neighborhood... Found two more sheets of our shingles. Lovely color, just wish they would stay stuck to our dang home!

Grrr....

Who feels like the loser of the hood??!! I do, I DO!

STAIRS here, stairs there.... Stairs everywhere!!!

Yes, it's true!

We have stairs!!!

And railings!


And nicely placed hand prints in our cement!! Geee!!

As you can imagine I was thrilled when the guys from Brookhaven showed up to put our stairs on!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Now all we need is landscaping and the final coat of paint on our doors!

SOOOOOOO close!!!!

(Yes, I just blogged about not having stairs this morning! *L* Check it our if you haven't... Stairs...??!!)
