you know it is a shame no one has thought of designing a test that could be performed on structure say ..in June just before season..like a stress test for the home that would highlight any concerns lalmost ike a maintence checkup.....

This roof is only 3 1/2 years old......had so many problems with the installer that I won't call him back. I wish there was a test for wind and rain......guess what, it's raining again!
