                       It is a ROOF DAMAGE FACTOR in the Haag book they call it Damage assessmnet. repair vs replace slopes.

                       RE:ChuckDeaton I downloaded that program, it is nice for a calander but not roofs that is about 20 years behind the times in the real world, i have a nice ROOF sheet that covers every aspect of adjusting, still in beta testing.
  I Will have my site up in a week or 2, it will be a membership site 1 year fee -cheap- btw still working out the bugs.... anyone have a can of raid?
  Well to sum it up I Will make you all more money if join the site as I said i wont sell a CD but a membership access for one year. nothing like Xmate so you can sleep in peace :^) this is a fair deal to speed up your claims and upload time and resorces to free-shareware programs. I did my first part of the beta tonight went ok but xactamate only lets you only import .jpg files and that really blows! as that takes more upload time..Need .GIF file import if i am wrong please let me know!~!!!!!!

                       This is for JimF: well here it goes, I Will make a helecopter with a spy cam that dabs chalk as a test square and will keep you off that ladder on those steep ones it will have a laser meausring device to do the roof diagram that way you can do a 3 story roof and sit back and relax, also it will take snaps of the damaged area this is probaly the best idea I can think of if you hate the steep suckers- no ladder needed!~ the only problem is those babys are hard to fly-control! better then the robot idea.. just for fun...
  If you like this idea it is possible as I had a buddy that flew these things but it is a hard thing to learn off the bat!!! Just Think you get the test square-overall roof and did not need a ladder :^) but would cost a bunch and would be like learning Curve Like Xactamate X 3 oh well thought I would throw this in the pile of ideas..

                       I Just came back from one a few weeks back, I must say I did not care for the Admams Mark Hotel! Could not wait to leave as there service was very poor, I am sure they are not all the same. Plus times are slow and have other plan's - now maybe by this time next year I will be there.

                      |  New here too.  Catching up on intriguing devices for high, steep, cutup roofs:  how about a hand held telescoping boom with attached camera and  trigger release? |
