I am confused as to how that happened and a little suspicious too. That is the reason I posted , wondering about more information.

My friend and I both own homes in Hadley.
That can happen and did happen to us when we re-shingled our previous home in CT. The roofer doing the job noticed a difference in the shingles on one side of the roof and stopped working. He told us about it but we could not see the difference. He said it had something to do with a different batch number being mixed in with our batch. (Apparently the shingles are given batch numbers to correspond with when they are manufactured, at least that is what someone else told me). At any rate the manufacturer paid for the roofer to remove the shingles from that side of the roof and for new ones to be installed.
