how common that is when discussing with the contractor i ask 1 question how do you keep water out of your high top boots when your rain britches are tucked in side dunno is the usual reply i have a reinspect image somewhere they use the step/kickout as a kickup horizontally installed i just shook my head & owner/client couldn't understand what was wrong either some days are really just funner than others

i was in no way endorsing the application as seen aren't the $hould$ what pay the bills ;~)) somewhere in my files i have pix of $1M+ shaq where originally designed & built with the crap shot directly over osb substrate prior inspector misidentify as DEFS...whoop$$$$,$$$.00 DEFS requires approved substrate, mesh, base & finish Click to Enlarge 29.53 KB

appear to be field fabricated sill pan flashing @ head and sill https://www.google.com/search?q=sill+pa ... 00&bih=779 i'd have to see a window head flashing the upper at the hose sillcock really isn't the proper method also i'd like to see tooled elastomeric sealant at the dissimilar material joints even when the purported wrb is present

what type insulation was used for the rest of the "stud bays" why blown if different? why wasn't blown installed? my best advise is ? everything & hire a competent 3rd party inspector to review everything before closing hth

wag-around here if gas service is disconnected for a certain period of time the utility provider does a pressure test before resetting the meter if it fails a plumber is called out to locate leak & repair as required before service will be reconnected

oops

Nolan, are you able to perform a flooring inspection? I'm trying to locate a second inspector to corroborate the first inspection provided by the manufacturer. Some of the planks look to be "de-laminating" and were there a manufacturing problem, I'd not want to leave them out of the fun. Thanks!! Amy hi Amy hope you found someone for your inspection needs if not i installed & trimmed for a number of local flooring contractors back in the 80's~90's & now provide any type flooring install & moisture analysis inspections call or email through my website if service is still needed or you need a great installer

change in ceiling joist direction is often seen for differing room width-length arrangements & roof overhangs for foyers, patios, etc. best support with least material generally occurs in shortest span the over angled purlin struts are useless & don't comply to any "c-word" http://www.adairinspection.com/xsites/I ... urlins.jpg

go to library in header file directory exteriors fiber cement kudos to the folks here that have put together many "outdated docs"

appears to be acmv Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer (AMSV) ? lightweight, architectural, non load-bearing product that is manufactured by wet cast blending cementitious materials and aggregates, with or without pigments, admixtures, or other materials to simulate the appearance of natural stone and other masonry materials. Note: The MVMA recognizes there are many names used to describe Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer products. Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer is used commonly throughout the industry and by some manufacturers. In the International Building Code, Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer products are referred to as Adhered Masonry Veneer. In the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria, AC51, the product is called Precast Stone Veneer. This guide will use AMSV (Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer) when referencing the product. http://ncma-br.org/pdfs/masterlibrary/M ... 20Prtg.pdf natural stone veneer or wythe aren't usually smoother cut on the backside finding full or partial loose pieces falling off the structure or adhered to what appears to be an im/proper brown coat stucco application is usually a great clue you're at an acmv install

not necessarily an Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer (AMSV) installer issue if the contract was written for "to be installed by others" waterproofing, flashing and wrb...which is often seen the amsv contractor may only be responsible for the sacrificial wrb, lath, brown-scratch & asmv app regardless "latent defect" can't be fixed from the visible surface...remove, properly weather-air proof & restart with a good grasp of the manual & better supervision

Tell me you made that up. not uncommon in many classless urban areas kids will be kids, think relocation is an art form & drunk rednecks believe yard furnishing look just as good if not better "at my house"...got pickup http://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/pol ... b2370.html as far as anchoring condensing units all ground and rooftop units are required to be secured in tx windstorm areas i advise all as a general precaution due to the upsurge in theft

no insulation would be Direct Applied Exterior Finish System (DEFS) never was or is a good finish for cmu any movement will telegraph...i'm in high plasticity soil territory & all i inspect fail within the first year most mfr limit usage & no longer recommend on any type weather exposed surfaces

Les neither is difficult if you know what you're doing and have the protocol required tools & testing equipment limited market usage & uncommon products scare many my niche here is mostly out of TREC scope; i get a lot of inspector referrals for specialty msv, eifs, stucco, construction phase, infrared & commercial so far all the relos i do require edi certification, very few here have this relos don't pay at time of inspection, average pay arrives 30 days max some are leery even with corps especially certain ones that have been negatively reviewed on message boards...i've consider the source & tested the waters before passing judgement my experience has been nothing but good even from those w/neg reviews by others If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur. Red Adair

do many for relos & independent msv or acmv eifs stucco specialty ahead of or behind unwilling home inspectors mostly misapplied with moisture intrusion issues often appears intentional for today's disposable housing consumers
