That week in July when everything went wrong on a single roof job

I had a job in South Austin back in July where it rained three out of five days, then the temp hit 103 on Thursday. My crew showed up late on Friday and we found out the underlayment we ordered was the wrong size. I ended up having to drive 45 minutes to a supply house and paid an extra $180 for express delivery. Has anyone else had a week where every single thing just piled up like that?

That Tuesday you mentioned with the wrong underlayment size is exactly the kind of thing that can sink a whole week. I had a similar run where we ordered the right number of tiles but the wrong color, and it was a three day back and forth to straighten out.

And that's nothing. I once drove two hours for the wrong flashing tape.
