Temtop PMD 331/351 particle counters
By dryheroHas anybody had experience using a Temtop PMD331/351 particle counter? Look amazing on paper, features, build quality, etc. However, they are 1/4 the cost of gold standard manufacturers like Fluke, TSI, Lighthouse, MetOne, etc. ($1,200 vs $4K-46K)Likely using lesser quality sensor(s)? Re-calibration might be difficult (Chines manufacturer). I can't find ANY discussion regarding reliability/accuracy. Salespersons for the large, above mentioned brands simply say "I've never heard of Temtop" -

In March, we had our HVAC system replaced. There was significant mold growth on the coil of the gas pack unit. The AC units and furnace -
Arcitectural shingles along rake.
By JMarkMy apologies for the poor photo. I have a new roof with several voids along the rakes due to the differing thickness of architectural shingles. My roofer says it isn't an issue with regards to rain and moisture due to the starter strip, remains quiet when I raise the issue of wind, says there is nothing he can do, and calls me picky. It would appear to me be a moisture and wind issue which could be corrected by ending the course with a portion of shingle the same thickness, but I'm not the pr -
History
By mgbinspectGreetings all, One of my fellow home inspectors called me yesterday, as the "old guy" to see if I knew when installing an electrical service panel in a bathroom became verboten. He had actually been asked that question by a local county building inspection official, who is dealing with it in a renovated home. (Virginia is an unusual state in that only new work must meet new code requirements. Old work is deemed grandfathered.) So, I in turn reached out to Bill Kibbel, who suggested tha -

I have installed alot light fixtures, but I have never see a mount like this. This is for a chandelier at the ceiling side. Does anyone know how this was suppossed to be hung?
