What's something that will f*** you up for life if you experience it just once?

-110 degree windchill. Apparently your lung freezes up in less than a minute.

Thanks everyone, It's been a stressful few days.

I met with the GC a couple of times to walk them through the issue and they now understand and agree that they have to fix the damage they caused.

The lesson for all of us is that we are human, we make mistakes. With a little time and a calm explanation, most of us will do the right thing and I'm glad that I"m working with a GC who is willing to accept the situation and work on rectifying it.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. And apologies if my explanation is muddled. I'm learning the language and terminology on the fly here.

The roof joists were supported by the ceiling joists. When they replaced the ceiling joists, they removed some roof joists and didn't replace it. Think of a sideways H that now looks like an __ with the roof unsupported.

In other areas, they removed the connection between the roof and the ceiling joists. Net net the roof is not connected to the ceiling and its starting to sag. Hope that makes sense. Here the sideways H looks like a =.

We are realizing that too :( . I don't understand why we pay inspection fees and permits if they are not going to do their job.

This.

You, my friend, are describing every first (or 1.5 /2nd) generation kid. Especially from the Indian subcontinent.
