Whenever I get my puppy out of his crate, he goes absolutely crazy. I appreciate that he's happy to see me, but he grabs whatever clothing I have on and bites and yanks at it. At times he accidentally grabs my skin. I've tried saying a stern no, yelping like a puppy, turning my back on him (which is hard to do when he just continually grabs your clothing), putting him in a submissive position and deferring his attention elsewhere. NOTHING has worked. He's a 7 month old Labrador and he's getting horribly strong. I know his intentions are not to hurt me, but something has GOT to give
For one, California is an at-will state. They are not even required to tell you the reason(s) you are fired. They can just say, your fired, leave! Secondly, you mentioned wrongful termination. What was wrongful about it? As you mentioned, she received 2-3 written warnings EVERY week! That is alot. I am suprised she was not terminated a lot sooner. Basically, they have everything covered if she tries to sue or file for unemployment. They will be able to show all the reasons why she was written up! Remember, YOU are only getting your mom's side of the story!
We put a new roof on this old house mid summer and went with the metal. The coating on the roofing my contractor used is guaranteed for 40 years. And we went with the navy blue color; looks awesome! We live in an area where any possible solar gain from the dark color is attractive; we only get about 4 months of warm weather here. He's been in the business about 15 years and told me he's not had any problems with the color fading thus far. Keep the roof painted and you'll easily get 100 years out of it! And metal is fully recyclable at the end of it's life span. We did not do a tear off either as we only had 1 layer of shingles. We did spend the extra $ to have the bubble wrap installed. It's a material that has reflective coatings on both sides and looks just like bubble wrap (but heavier) in the middle. It reflects heat back outside in the summer and reflects heat inward in the winter. We immediately noticed a big drop in the temperature of the upstairs on hot days. I'd bet it was 10 degrees plus. The attic even more; you couldn't stand to go up there on a hot day, now it's warm but not like being in a blast furnace. My metal roof cost me about 30% more than a 40 year shingle roof would have. But we had the wrap, all the trim pieces (really finished the job up nice), the snow breaks (those little brackets) and all the flashings done along with putting some clear acrylic panels in the patio roof (they were more expensive than the metal panels). But the job turned out better than we had expected! Your job should be pretty straight forward; ours had a lot of peaks and valleys in the roof and fussy things to work around and with. Warning - get ready to paint the trim. After you put the new roof on, the trim will look so shabby! That's what we spend the rest of the summer doing!
I would go with metal but I would remove the shingles.I have done it both ways but you get a better surface to screw to and why would you want all that extra weight on your roof.
