Which is why you don't use clay tile in central TX. We usually have
at least 1X/year incident where it goes from 80'sF to 30's in less
than 36 hours w/sleet and rain. That wreaks havoc on tile.

For sure. I even sent them a threatening letter way back when this
started claiming to be a member of his family and that's he's not
exactly unmedicated and sane.

OK, it's looks like I implied I was an attorney of some sort. As
well as the Guiness Book World Record holder of the number of
Mcdonald's Big Macs eaten! (Don Gorske).

At the request of the family, John Kuthe's mental status is
currently being reviewed by the courts. If he is deemed mentally
unfit to care for his estate, the first thing that will be reviewed
will be if and to what extent Old World Roofing Company knowingly
took advantage of a mentally ill person by offering to fix his roof
for more than house itself is worth. This is not a fair contract
and the family WILL sue to recoup all the losses incurred by your
actions. To save everybody a lot of time and trouble, we highly
advise that you rethink your contract and scope of work, IF ANY.

See? I use my superpowers for good AND evil. I'm not sure how
Spiderman will see that, but **** him.

They never got back to me, FWIW. Maybe they looked up who "Don
Gorske" was <shrug>. That was sent right after john said he paid
the $28K deposit; which is about what this job should have cost
(maybe $37K with the new gutters).

I'm wondering who's getting the old gutters? They're probably worth
$400+
