Hi Steven,

Thanks for the heads up on this one, I had absolutely no idea how often this occurs.

Lynda,

That is my estimate around here. Your area might be different but sure something to look for that surprises.

My goodness that's just a disaster waiting to happen.

Well, it sure could lead to a serious problem if a spark gets up there.

I'm with Steve.  If it works well as kindling in your fireplace, it will do the same in your attic...

I wonder how many roofers have been taken to task for this sloppy work?  Not many I'd bet..

"A Quick Note"

I have an obvious question---aren't all wood roofs kindling?  Some very high fire risk areas no longer allow them for that reason.

Definitely lazy roofers. The roofing company should have to come back out and clean up the mess, but I'm sure that is unlikely.

Once again we see why the cantankerous Charlie B has no friends. Of course, he would be defensive since that is his attic. I would counter Charlie B's sharp barb by stating that even though crawl space lumber is possible insect food, we do not want to entice them by tossing our wood scraps inside the crawl.

That is one big mess.  And the support doesn't look very strong. But you didn't mention it so I guess it is okay?  Charlie B. has one friend....me....but I don't know him very well!  He has a good point.  I have heard that your hazard insurance is higher if you have a wood shingle roof. 

Barbara,

The only good point that Charlie B has is the point on his pointy little head.

Barbara, this is Steve's theme song, speaking of pointed little heads.

Charlie and Steven, I am so glad you've decided to compliment each other.  Charles, the youtube song was such a great compliment to Steve because you said he's great even with a pointed little head.  Steve you said Charles has a pointy little head so that means he's okay also. 

You are both too much fun!!  Charles, I really did like that little song.  It is a great little song for kids! 

Barbara,

Now that Charlie went nuclear here, I will post his favorite tune.

Barbara,

Now that Charlie went nuclear here, I will reveal that one of the most popular songs from the late 1960's was written with Charlie in mind as the theme. Here is a puppet, who looks much like Charlie's little friend Paul, doing my favorite tune about Charlie.

You've sent me off on a search again.  I watched that puppet and then since I was at Youtube I watched other versions of it.  I must admit I'd never heard of that song.....but it was very interesting.....

I'm learning so much from you two guys!! LOL

Don't you guys gang up on me.......I can only take so much....

And so far you've found nothing wrong with my water heater.
