[WSBARP] NWMLS Form 35

You could discuss the roof with the inspector and see if they would be 
willing to to amend the report.  Prior to doing buyer inspections I try 
to know what the buyer is concerned about, or what they become concerned 
about during the inspection, and I will ask the inspector to 
specifically mention having a second person out to trigger the right.  I 
don't see any reason you couldn't talk to the inspector and ask for an 
amended inspection, assuming the inspector doesn't see a reason not to 
do so.
