How's this for a quality re-roofing job??

[isettaman]

When we moved in to our property, three years ago, the owner made a big thing about the garage having been re-roofed. It did look superficially ok but I couldn't see a lot as it was sheeted with that asbestos type cement board.

I'm now demolishing it to make way for a new bungalow and this is what greeted me on removing the cement sheeting - including loads and loads of muck from the old disintegrated roofing sheets which had been removed.

This was done by a roofing contractor with "twenty years experience"

He had actually tried to skew nail the corners of the sheets together!
