This review of Mr. Roof is an honest review. Mr. Roof in no way encouraged, influenced, or had any knowledge of my review.

Last year, when Hurricane Ike came rolling through Ohio and blew the shingles off of every house in the county, I decided that I only had about a dozen shingles missing and I would just make the roof repairs myself. That was fine until two weeks ago, when a wind storm came through again and know a bunch more off. Enough is enough.

I decided to call a roofer and get his opinion. After a couple of first-hand testimonials, I went to the Mr. Roof website and requested a free quote. The next business day, I was called and the appointment was made.

At the appointment, Daniel came out, and he could tell immediately that I had real damage and that I needed a new roof. He explained in detail how the process worked, dealing with insurance, etc. No deductibles are due until the work was done. He would handle everything, and all we needed to do was pick out what color shingle we wanted.

He also mentioned that our old shingles would be replaced with a higher quality, 30 year dimensional shingle.

A day after meeting with Daniel, I contacted my insurer and explained the situation, and that I need to file a claim. He was friendly about it and said that an adjuster would soon be in contact with me.

Over the last couple of days, I have had a series of phone calls with State Farm, and an adjuster will be coming out to inspect the roof next week. Right now there is snow covering the roof and the holidays are this week. I gave my Mr. Roof guy a call yesterday keeping him in the loop.

This is an issue that the more I think about it, the higher my blood pressure gets. The Russians no doubt SEVERELY opposed this shield, the eastern European allies strongly wanted it, then out of the blue it’s scrapped leaving several strong allies with bus tire tracks all over their backs.

Obama campaigned on rebuilding our relationships with our allies. How is this building our relationship with the Czechs, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, and several other eastern European nations in Russia’s cross hairs?

If they want to make the case that it cost too much, well how much is it? Is it more than the stimulus that recently passed? I heard them say that they’re going to use ships at sea to accomplish the same thing, but the military budget is also being slashed.

The missile defense shield is a huge bargaining chip that in my opinion is off limits, and was simply given away as far as I can see. We are seeing carrot after carrot and I think Joe Biden was right when he said that Obama will be tested early in his presidency. Did he pass the test?

President Obama is going around the world stopping all programs that the bad guys don’t like, assuming that if we just close Gitmo, they will like us. If we just dismantle the missile defense shield, they will like us. If we only sell out Israel, they will like us. If we cancel the embargo with Cuba, they will like us. If we apologize for being Americans, they will like us. What’s next? Maybe if we withdrawal from Afghanistan they will finally like us.

You don’t have to be a general to know that if you let your guard down you’re going to get punched in the face. I think that now that Russia knows we don’t have the spine to back up our European allies we’ll probably see strong Russian aggression in the region pretty soon.

Do you Facebook? I do. Recently, I was bored and was looking at a person’s friends list who I have as a friend. I noticed that there are several of my friends listed as their friends also. I’m not jealous or trying to not share friends, but I know for a fact that these people have never met, or probably never even heard of each other.

Facebook is a social networking site, so maybe this is what it is for? The friends Facebook suggests should be my friends whether I know them or not? Someone please help me understand.
