Slate Roof Mistakes - Cutting the Slates on the Wrong Side

From SlateRoofWarehouse.com: Roofing slates should be marked and cut on the back side in order to retain the beveled edge on the exposed side. This may seem trivial to some, but if the homeowner complains about the aesthetics of the roof because the roofer cut the slates on the wrong side, huge problems can result. Better to do it right the first time.

I was just reading Jenkins Slate roof Bible (autographed by Jenkins). Really interesting, and loved the part about roofing Neanderthals.
