| 2009-11-19 | Klara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Very knowledgeable person. Answered my questions in extensive detail, which was excellent. |
| 2009-10-26 | bob | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |

| 2009-10-15 | Jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Bruce, Your responses were very helpful and thank you for responding so quickly. Sincerely, Jim |
| 2009-10-14 | Subba | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | A very helpful response (though not what I wanted to hear!). Thanks very much. |
| 2009-10-07 | Bill | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-10-05 | Buddy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-09-03 | Scott | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Bruce provided an option that no one else could offer (and I had spoken to 8 professionals with 2 being whole house fan specialists). Though hind sight is 20/20 no one could see his solution. I hope to continue to be able to reach him to follow up. |
| 2009-09-03 | Kim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I know nothing about roofs or shingles but Bruce's response is what I had thought was true. Thanks so much for the knowledgeable information to back up my gut feeling. |
| 2009-08-31 | barbara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the sound advice. Really appreciate it |

| 2009-08-25 | Jo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you! THAT makes sense. The person telling me to clear it off didn't (couldn't?) give me a reason for it, just that "you're supposed to do that". But weight limit is something concrete I can understand. I appreciate your time! Thank you very much!! Sincerely, Jo |

| 2009-08-07 | Berthe | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | I want to thank Mr. Ryan for his help. It will be very useful in making some roofing decisions. There is one aspect of my question, however, which he didn't answer. I wanted to know about different kinds of soffit vents - I know there are several different kinds and I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of each. Thank you for this excellent and timely service. Berthe Nathanson |

I spoke with the contractor today and have an appointment to examine the roof and devise a strategy. I will propose the water test that you suggested. Many thanks for your understanding a very trying problem. |
