people can get rather irate our down right insane once you come down the ladder and give the roof a clean bill of health. very rarely do i have people express their relief that their home has no damage... more often than not, i have to take a deep breath and prepare for the inevitable verbal lashing that waits for me at the bottom rung of the ladder

Yeah, I had friends who cheerfully told me how they got on their roof with a shovel after Ike and prepped their roof for inspection. New roof! Hurrah!
And then people wonder why insurance rate go up.
