Roof Inspection

We had our roof replaced because of hail damage. After the work is done the county inspector has to come out and approve it. In order to do this the roofing company must put a ladder out for the inspector and secure it to the house. They must also post the permit in a public place.

The inspector came by today and left us a note as to why he could not inspect our roof - there were two problems.

1. The ladder was in the wrong place. (Side note here, if they are so dang picky about where the ladder has to be and the exact position it must be in and the way it is secured would it not make much more sense for them to bring their own??? Oh wait! This is a government agency so common sense does not apply. Nevermind.)

2. The permit must be posted. It is. Right in the front window. It's so obvious you can't miss it unless you're brain dead. But then if you aren't brain dead maybe you could also bring your own ladder... Right, got it.

I ask you, should people who can't put a ladder up be walking on the roof? Highly dangerous! Seems like a bad plan.

I read the inept inspector's note and the only thing I could think was AND PEOPLE WANT THE GOVERNMENT DO HANDLE OUR HEALTHCARE??
