Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Parents have been on a month long vacation and left a small list of stuff do to while they are gone:

1. Take care of dog
2. Don't destroy the house
3. Dad (carpenter by trade) asks to clear the deck awning every few inches of snow so it doesn't cave in

Simple enough, at this point it's been 3 weeks and it has snowed a few times, each time I cleared the awning using this ridiculous shovel thing that is 20 feet long. Recently we were meant to get 5-8 inches over night and I had to be at work at 7 so with shoveling I have to wake up at 4, so I go to bed at 8. I wake up to over a foot and a half of snow, at this point I started shoveling and when it became clear I was going to be late for a variety of reasons and it was getting hazardous I call out. I continue to shovel and eventually got the drive way and front door cleared so I move to the awning. I should mention at this point the awning is not ready for winter it's a tarp being supported by "special" treated 1/2 in. wood, yeah you know a functional redneck tarp for the deck. Each snow fall before the tarp held fine, but that was 3 inches at a time. This time the tarp is starting to cave in and the wood is caving with it, I send a pic saying the awning is caving in and what happened and start clearing knowing this is gonna be bad. Less than 5 minutes later he says "Thanks for nothing can't even do what you're told, some marine" (I was active duty, got out about 2 years ago). At this point I stop clearing the tarp and just start moving the stuff under it out of the way and respond "fuck off, What did you want me to do wake up in the middle of the night to clear your half-assed deck? If this is so important drive back up and clear it yourself." At this point he tells me to call his friend and our neighbor over to prop the thing up and fix my fuck up. The snow is still there and I'm waiting for it to cave in, and they are still gone. I can predict the verdict will probably be EHS but seriously if he said this was a final product to his client they would demand a full refund, and the best part is he decided to not take it down when he had the chance because fuck it. Further to my point I told this story to my neighbor and his friend, both said they aren't helping it's his fault, let it fall. Dog is fine though, he's a good boy.
