Not really, that's just part of it and picking up nails everywhere so the dog wouldn't step on them

Wow thats significant. They must have been rushing like hell to do that.

Back about 1990 i needed a new roof on my suburban house. I got a recommendation from a friend at the gun club, the price was in the middle so I went with him. I'm a firm believer in most cases of throwing out the lowest price and highest price and use my construction knowledge and pick someone from the middle of the bids.

They laid tarps all over the place, had a ground man that kept the area good. When they were done they picked up every scrap and went at least twice with a magnet device..

Slew I know you were not home to see it but that picture you sent does not to me put that company in a good light!-

Looks like the wind got ahold of a piece of felt paper during the tear off. Like to see a picture from further away for context.

Liberals...
want the rest of us to be tolerant of the gays and queers, but God forbid the neighbor has work done and they leave a little mess.

And here is a relevant fact...
Slewfoot has no contract relationship with the roofing company. His recourse is with his neighbor.

True, but I would expect a reputable contractor to make things right when given the chance, since they couldn't access the yard during the job.

Having said that...based on the only pic posted so far, I would have picked up the debris and gotten on with my life. No phone calls, no online smears...

I agree that the roofing contractor should have cleaned up the mess. Assuming he had access, which apparently he did not.

Something tells me that Slew's JAP wife is who was/is offended by this and Slew's ire is based on her reaction not his own.

The reality for me is that of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of individuals I interact with across a handful of websites on a fairly regular basis it’s only these three or four that act this way so it’s pretty insignificant to me. As I’ve said before, just have to decide if seeing the same type of post with the same childish comments when you try to add to a conversation is worth coming here. Most days anymore it just isn’t.
Yes indeed. Like throwing a 4-year long temper tantrum after Trump was elected, and, 7+ years later, still trying to crucify him with a corrupt 'justice' system. Like yelling at conservatives in outdoor cafe's with megaphones at their tables and pouring the diner's drinks in their laps (per Maxine Waters). Or Pelosi tearing up official papers while in session to make a point. Or tearing down statues that symbolize our country's history. Or burning entire cities and tearing open our borders, welcoming fatal drugs and hostile illegals with open arms. Nice 'discussion' the Democrats are having. Time to go watch the news and learn more about how inherently evil smart white men are.

Interacting with thousands of people online is not something I would be bragging about.

Just wait until they throw another tantrum and unleash their antifa brownshirts to loot and burn again.

What does any of this have to do with my comment about having a conversation here?

That appears to show the house next door literally less than three feet away. I assume the ties and white fence to be more-or-less the property line. A shitty fence to block the alley and access to the rear yards. What a ****ing dump.
