1. Repair roof on second floor around slate roof.
2. Repair roof on second floor where there was never any uncured rubber installed at roof edge.
3. Cap and seal area of second floor roof on North side of home where soffit and drip edge was never installed.
4. Remove “idiot crew’s” soffit work on northwest corner of roof and replace with new to match the rest of the house.
5. Repair drip edge on back porch roof where the two pieces of sheet aluminum meet. They are uneven.
6. Fill gap in foundation where new footer meets old block wall with mortar and backfill.
7. Install gutter and downspout on northeast corner of roof (slate area).
8. Install siding corner caps in several spots on the home. They were removed to put on rubber roof and never replaced.
9. Repair new set of steps on the west side of porch. They were set in the mud with NO footer or any other type of support to prevent sinking.
10. Replace screws on handrail for west side stairs. Non-colored ones were used and they are staining handrail. The proper screws were used everywhere else on the porch. This is the only area with this type of screw.
11. Repair hole and missing siding around pantry inside new porch. Siding was removed to put on new roof and never replaced,
12. Repair siding on south side of new porch roof. A piece of sheet aluminum siding was hung on it and never fastened or held up with channel.
13. Install 1 x 1’s around new porch where new decking meets existing siding to cover up inconsistent deck board sizes.
14. Repair or replace “new” outdoor basement access hatch. The new one that was installed is warped and bowed and will not support any weight. And most of all, it looks like hell. Old hatch was even with deck, watertight, and VERY sturdy. Was better before it was “replaced”.
15. Trim out entry door into kitchen. Tom agreed to trim out door if I would take care of repairing/Replacing sidewalk that was ripped up to dig hole for new footer.
16. B.J. had told my wife and I, that Northeastern would put up lattice on the new block wall between new porch deck and ground level to blend the deck in more naturally.
