Lets grow up! Moss is caused by moisture, lack of sunshine to dry it up will alow moss to grow. DUH!!!! Who cares if it's fake stone. The same thing will happen to brick. Been in the business for over 30 years. Tell your customer that moisture could be a problem in the future, and ways to get rid of it. If it's not a problem now don't worry about it. DON'T BE AN ALARMIST!!!!!

That was the best thing about the house. Oh well, guess this will go in my collection of "you gotta be kidding me"

I had one that I could not find and guess what? It was covered over by the drywallers.

I may be dumb as a pile of rocks,,but if on a 2 wire system and a ground fault outlet and I stick my handy dandy tester in it and I see the center light come on (ungrounded??) I then press my super handy dandy tester button and nothing happens, then the outlet is not working proper for gfci??? My question is will a tester trip a GFCI on a 2 wire system. Jim I know that that this is small stuff for you along with many others,,however I may have been sleeping during this part.
-
Les, good point. I can see myself in you.
-
Isn't the two wire system itself a hazard near water,,,,,And GFCI is intended for a 3 wire system.. ????What if the GFCI was wired wrong and we didn't know it and knew it was a 2 wire system.

emalernee you are right,,,however I at times forget to take a photo of what ever.. I now use a paper version of my report laminated and placed in a binder and use a dry erase fine pen to make notations along with the photos. I then hammer it out at the office. I'm looking for a way to skip a step to save time myself. -
Wow osb is not good below grade.

I'm looking to get into lead paint testing. I have received many calls in regard to testing. I got into radon because my clients asked for it. I think my clients are asking for this,,,But has anyone done this and is it a bigger pain in the butt than radon and worth it??

The OQO looks like a nice unit...................... -
The cover didn't have any screws and that was the first thing I thought when I opened it up. Is there a rule of thumb as cubic inches to wire allowed.

Should I pull a breaker(s) out during an inspection to check the bus bar? I beleive it is outside the scope of the inspection.

Did a house today with insulated concrete forms. What is the proper attachment of floor joists when using a ledger board. Lumber size for the ledger??? How many bolts and spacing??? Are joist hangers required??? Give me the skinny on this stuff.

such a common thing causes many problems

The house is 1 year old. No regs because it is out of the city. Yes it is at the eaves. The contractor built the house.

I received a call today from a lady that was complaining about here contractor. She stated that she has been having problems with ice build up on her roof and thinks her contractor may have not insulated enough. She wants to hire me and I feel that this may be a hot potatoe that will only get me a seat in a courthouse and a small witness fee when it goes to court. OPINIONS PLEASE!
-
I beleive you should write it up for the access problem. I little old lady may have problems moving the fridge.
-
talked to the buyer today and they are not concerned about the roof system even though we do get snow. Isn't that amazing,,,The next thing you will here about is an attic access panel hitting someone in the head.LOL. Thanks Swolsen for the help.
-
WOOOOOOOOO! is the inspection for the client or the seller? We all know the answer to that question if we are working for the buyer, and we all know that at the end of the report it says to read the damn thing. Just forget it. If the agent is that petty you don't need his work because when the next one has a problem he will call you again and again and again and again. I think you get my point.

Mike is right. I see these all the time
