Yes Tom, J Channel. Somebody's done covered most of the structure with vinyl siding. Here's a closer view of the outside of the turret and gable. The turret still has the original fish scale siding.

Attempting? I think they succeeded very well!

Cause you love it, Roy, cause you love it.

I see two issues with photo 24. 1. It doesn't show the complete box so I can't review it accurately. 2. The white wire on the top left breaker isn't marked properly. It'd be easier for us to provide meaningful feedback if you unsecured this particular report so we could copy and paste the section we were referring to with our commentary. By the way, Adobe isn't all that hard to crack to make changes to the original. I guess I just prefer the (as Kurt so aptly put it) "short bursts of info with visual reinforcement." See photo below.

Wouldn't let me copy and paste but read the first sentence under Insulation and Ventilation. Out to think about getting a system that lets you put the photo right next to the comment.

Any pictures of the outside near these two areas. What about liberal application of water on the floor during mopping getting soaked up into that trim. Was WRB behind the vinyl?

Math, ugh. Making my brain hurt!

Yup, it's good to be "more sure first"!

For accuracy, shouldn't it be ON the shingles.

Better get a pan. All y'alls sarcasm is dripping!

or a 2x4 with 16 penny nails through it, drop the nails through the cracks between the deck boards. Though I think I like the web straps better.

Did they jump in through the top or up through the bottom?

Bummer, you got a good school right there in Leavenworth. http://www.midwestinsp.com/ Standard one week or alternative for those who can't take a week! And Tom FEEDS you good! It's where I went many years ago. Download a trial of HomeGauge Software and try it. It's what I chose. Might also download a trail of InspectExpress and try it. I haven't but know some on here use it. Search the forums here. There's several reviews and discussions on the different softrware available.

This general in the Foreign Legion is transferred to a new fort, and half way through his tour of the place, he spots a mangey old camel tied up at the back of the fort. He turns to the corporal: "What in God's name do you use that for?", he asks. The corporal replies "Well, sir, there are a lot of men, and now and then, they become, shall we say, horny...." "Ah, yes, yes, I understand. Fine, move on" About 6 weeks later, the general wakes up feeling so horny, he'd get up on the crack of dawn and calls the corporal. "Bring me to the camel" says he. The corporal does, and once at the camel, he makes it stand up, and places a stool behind it. With that, the general stands on the stool, takes out Mr Floppy and inserts it into the camel. He then proceeds to give it the ride of its life. Having finished, he puts away his equipment, and looks proudly at the corporal. "Well", he says, "is that the way you men do it around here?" "Er...no, sir", replies the corporal, "We normally just use the camel to ride to the nearest brothel." [:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd[:-monkeyd

Spent a few days in Chicago several years ago. Had a great time meeting and discussing stuff with all the other inspectors there. Well worth the loss of income. After all, who wants to work EVERY day!

Scott: Are they putting in a chair lift to get back up from the water?

I guess it's just too cold around here. I don't see many exterior sinks.

I don't find it odd that a cable guy would drill a hole like that but do find it strange that he'd go ahead and run his cable through it also.

Since when did we breed profile? Though I note I think it's kind of low down for a German Shepherd.

Good comp but it looks more like a water tower.

Used one frequently but I usually clamp it to the side that is not going to fall when the cut is made.
