62. I had a roof put on my house a few years ago

Most of the workers were Hispanic/Mexican. Work was done in a complete & timely manner. Cleanup; almost nothing was left behind. Were they undocumented? Don't know & don't care. They could teach us about a work ethic.

My opinion; if they have a problem with the work performed, I am inclined to think is because they have some sort of a twisted and scheming agenda.
