My initial reaction is that they should have at least placed spacers under the decking in that spot to bring it back to the roof pitch - to me they took a shortcut.

Heh... just had another thought... that if the contractor was this cheap to short-cut fill, the slab is probably really thin too, assisting in the breakage.

The killer short cut seems to be on the expected expenses other than the ones that are easily determined.

@Mark Ferguson To me, transitioning to RE was like getting another Master's degree; about two years of hands-on learning and research is needed and most folks are just looking for a shortcut; gurus offer that - or at least promise it.

After spending a lot of time and money on unworkable an outdated programs, books and videos that claimed to teach the "secrets" of the investment gurus, BP has helped me realize that there really are no secrets or push-button shortcuts to REI.   

This is a process where you should not short cut or try to save money.Most closings are based upon what is contained in the purchase/sale agreement.

SOunds to me like they just want to take the short cut for them and not have to use letters of explanation for what was done.....I don't ssee this not being done, IMO.

There's no shortcut to doing thorough research yourself.

Don't try to short cut the process.

I have more corner cutting knowledge and shortcuts, replacements and subsitutions, and alternative options knowledge than any investor I have ever met.I have a 4 year college degree as well.
