Knocked out a large bottle glass block from the wall when a ladder slipped.  
The glass block punched a hole in the bottom of a fiberglass bathtub.

Bathtubs? isn't it kind of a bad idea to be installing internet service into a 
bathtub in the first place?

  We fixed lots of roofs, windows, bathtubs, siding etc.  But to restore roof 
or siding to original condition is a different thing. Very expensive at times.

  In this situation (which happened several times, regardless of who signs what 
document, etc. etc.) we would go remove our equipment and fix the damage at our 
cost. It's not worth all the headaches and issues in the future.

    Hey all, 

    So I got an angry call from a owner of a townhouse who rents it out to one 
of our new internet customers. We were never made aware the home was a rental 
in any way. Our techs always ask permission on where to mount the dish and 
bring in the wire and they were given approval to mount the dish on the roof 
and drill a hole for the wire. If it was a rental, we would have talked to the 
landlord.

    The home owner now wants us to remove the dish, cable, and holes and 
restore everything to original condition. He wants new siding, new shingles, 
the whole works. 


    I don't exactly know how I should handle this situation. We won't be 
pulling the mount off the roof because it is sealed if we leave it there. We 
can't move the dish because the signal is only good there. Do we have any sort 
of protection from OTARD or anything that allows us to keep things in place 
since we were given permission from the tenant?

    Ideas or ways to handle this smoothly? We are not going to pay for new 
siding or roofing when we were given permission to install. If anything, the 
tenant would be responsible since we did the work on their behalf.
