Few buyers are aware of how important it is to make sure the roof on the home they are purchasing is free from defects and storm damage.  After all, from the ground a roof is just...well a roof!  Does anyone really pay attention to their roof unless they begin having leaks or issues?  If a roof has visible damage, a home inspector will usually note these items in their report.  If the damage is minor, it may be possible to repair the roof by simply replacing the damaged shingles.  If the roof is fairly new and the same like kind and quality shingles are available, the repair may be completed and be barely noticeable.   But a roof can be much more complex than many home buyers are aware of.  The Atlas Chalet shingle was a very popular shingle that was used extensively in both new constru...

I thought I had seen it all. I listed a home in Murfreesboro for a friend last month, and since everything in the area has been selling quickly, I thought it would be a low drama, fast close situation. Part of that is true, but the low drama was not.My client has a dog, and he somehow managed to get out of the fence surrounding the back yard, so my client goes looking for him in the woods behind the house. He finds the dog, and something else caught his eye.What appears to be a live grenade was in the woods. Since my client has been in the military, he did the smart thing and called the police, who in turn called the bomb squad, and the carried it off in a protective case to do whatever they do with something like this. How long had it been in the woods, nobody knows. But it's a good th...
