Unusual Roof Issue
I love this job! Something new almost every day. The seller was there and we just scratched our heads and said, "I wonder where that came from?" I called this one "Maintenance Required" on the report. It is a 9mm pistol bullet imbedded in the shingles.

"Maintenance Required"?

Why not "Repair Required"?

It *does need* "repair".

Re: Unusual Roof Issue
I can attest to the bullet coming down and killing someone. It happened to an acquaintance of mine this New Years Eve.

Here is the story:
