In doing so, they damaged badly the roof that was over the second story patio we had. They covered up their mistake and did not tell us a single thing. We didn't even know, since the patio was in the guest room and we do not go in there often. We finally noticed it Saturday when we had the HOA over our home to point out some unrelated wood damage we needed repaired.

Since it was saturday we left a voice mail for the contractor to fix this mistake. Monday he agreed, and said he would come over Tuesday. But, it rained hard Monday night, and the water ended up flooding the garage that the patio is above.

The contractor has already had his team fix the damaged roof (though it was a bit shoddy), and says he will fix our garage. However, the flood ruined some of our collectibles. My Batman: The animated series lithograph I've had for probably 15 years is destroyed, as is lithograph Jeff has had for about the same time. He also had some transformers damaged, but not too badly.

Fortunately I had some art in the garage that was not reached, and I'm very happy these were not affected.

Thanks for letting me vent, guys.

That sucks Balls.

Take there asses to court.

I hope you get it all sorted out, sounds like some of the stuff is almost irreplaceable though That really sucks.

Hope you only hate US roofers, we aren't all that dishonest

The guy has been honest. He was subcontracting the work, and it was them who said nothing and hid the evidence. The batman litho hurts the most. It was one of the first collectibles I ever bought.

Jeff lost a fox kids litho that was awesome. Will post pics of them damage.

forgot to mention that even when their mistake was pointed out by the contractor, the sub contractors still lied that they did any thing wrong.

You flying out tomorrow mate? And your return flight?
Looking at the departing flights on Sunday there's not many options, I'm wondering if we all may be on teh same flight!

there's a LITTLE bit of drizzle here in Balwyn, just took my dad to his school to finalise his retirement stuff.

Fingers crossed we do! My flight leaves tomorrow 4:10pm, departs Perth, Monday 1:20pm Perth time. I just tried web check-in and was unsuccessful, guess they're still shuffling peeps around.

Steph web checked us in a bit earlier, maybe it allowed us because we fly today?

We depart Perth on the 5.10pm flight Sunday I believe
