I've been scratching my head, wondering how much difference another

No need for attorney's fees. You can bring this case in small claims
if necessary.



Unless the roof caves in. *I haven't read a

And if code says 3 layers are not allowed? And if code also says a
building permit is required, but one was not pulled? And the roof is
obviously new? The buyer should just roll over and accept that?
