    Heard from an exterminator that in some part of the country, some houses can be infested by those flies during the winter months . He once removed houndreds of them from can lights.

    great, thanks Jim.

    Cellulose insulation. Found many pencil size holes and lots of dead flies. Ever heard of flies digging their way through insulation? Click to Enlarge 77.7 KB Click to Enlarge 35.45 KB

    I use vistaprint too and do my own designs on everything. I usually preffer doing business with locals but could'nt find anyone with a better price than vista. When money talks....

    Decks, so easy to build properly and yet, so screwed up most of the time.

    Yeah, in that neck of the woods, their are lots of know it all who've seen it and done it all but for most of them, the genealogy tree goes straight up.

    Well, first thing I knew, he was on the roof.

    I can understand why smoke pipes are installed with the male end pointing downward so that creosote runs down inside the pipe but, would'nt poorly fit installations create risk of smoke or other combustion gas to seep inside the house?

    Low slope, steel roof was installed over the old shingles. I wonder what would be the implication of such installation, if any? Click to Enlarge 39.72 KB

    Yes I would

    perhaps the succion of the water going down from the first flush sucks the second fill down with it. Possibly caused by undersized drain and or bad ventilation....having one of those would come pretty handy sometimes.

    No adequate primer sealer on wood?

    No Mike, I'm not assuming anything for the buyer. That is only the theory that came to mind from what I saw from the picture. But then again, I wasn't there so I could be way wrong.

    Hehehe! I guess they're more commun in the US or in the rest of Canada or I just havn't been around as long as most of you but that was a first to me. [:-hspin]

    Early morning dew at the furring strips, that was my thought too.

    ... I kept going back and forth from pic to pic for at least 30 minutes this afternoon. I guess the easiest way to write it up, along with other issues in the house will be to have a master electrician look at the entire electric system

    Trying to get my head around this installation. The 2 upper right boxes are no longer in use. the other 2 are connected together.....Looking at the black and red wires going from the fuse box to the bus bar in the other box...On top of the ground/neutral bond and the double taps, I just can't make heads or tails of it. Either way, a master electrician is needed in this house. Click to Enlarge 45.02 KB Click to Enlarge 58.74 KB Click to Enlarge 47.19 KB

    I wonder what they're worth, they'd be perfect for a cabin or a studio appartment. That one was in mint condition, has to be pretty rare too. Wonder if they make'em for propane or nat gas.

    It's ironic to see a smoke alarm detector receptacle that overheated. I guess, that's why it got removed. The bug is another story. Click to Enlarge 33.46 KB

    Just stumbled across one of those this morning. As Jim said, it's most likely fiber optic for either cable TV, phone and/or internet services. Click to Enlarge 27.31 KB

    It starts at the top. It takes a good leader who knows what he's doing and is not afraid to delegate responsabilities. He has to know the strenght and weakness of each (workers, players) in his team and most of all treat each and everyone of them with RESPECT and they'll respect the leader. If the leader can mix a bit of psychology, he can have his workers do what ever he wants, even the most tiddiest, durtiest job there is but he also has to be able to get durty hiumself and give the exemple. I used to lead big crews on major jobs across the US (up to 40 guys) and I was very successful but I would not have anyone do something I woud not do myself.
