    There's a whole new industry forming based on that concept. Here is one from this area: http://www.zhouserealtygroup.com/Forecl ... 03357.html Dom.

    I'm not sure the homeowners want their Name, Address, & Phone Number displayed on the web for all to see. Dom.

    I'd wish for unlimited wishes....[] But if I had to choose, I'd pick Carrier. Dom.

    FYI, Most Rheem heat pumps have the same sticker. Dom.

    That's a rather specific warranty requirement, and I would like to see such a claim. Do you have any specs on that? Dom.

    The frame needs to be plumb on both sides as well. Dom.

    They can order a Clue Report to see if an insurance claim was filed.

    Mac's are great, but choose your reporting software for the purpose at hand, not for the operating system. I love and use Mac OS, but in the HI field, reporting software is a vertical market that has very few players. Dom.

    That distinction isn't limited to just Chicago, unfortunately. Dom.

    That has become the norm for most blog sites nowadays.

    I see miswired 3 way circuits frequently.

    Other than a leaking shower pan or poor installation , it's possible that the shower door dumps water on the floor when they open it up after showering. I see this problem in many homes, but we typically have ceramic tile set on concrete in most bathrooms. Dom.

    Thanks Mike, I don't see that technique around here. Dom.

    FYI, that photo isn't lap siding.

    Oatey's transition glue is green, or "greenish", but I only see ABS in mobile homes around here, so not much call for the product. Transition Cement

    No, not really, especially from that era. Besides, the subs are a bigger problem. Dom.

    The rafters are actually trusses, and the 24" spacing is fine.

    Eric, Right now the entire program is at a standstill. Most of the WCE (Wind Certification Entities) were let go by the State in October for poor performance. You need to attend one of the training classes put on by the approved vendor, and pass the test to eligible to work for a WCE. Then you need to pass a background check, and a drug screen. Then you have to find a WCE to subcontract the work. It was a bumpy ride when it was operating, with much negative press concerning the entire program. Time will tell what becomes of the program.

    I have a hard time believing any "market research" firm is interested in electrical panels, or whether or not you are a home inspector. Perhaps a fishing trip by a disgruntled client (not necessarily yours...[] ) or a law office looking for input.

    Thanks, I'm not offended though, just thought you'd like another viewpoint. I don't believe "Political Correctness" is the same as tactful common sense, when it involves serious injuries. Dom.

    [:-thumbd] Yea, it's always funny when people get hurt.... "Seven people were injured - three seriously - when a balcony collapsed at a house in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne." Dom.

    I can't say that every photo I take needs the exact same correction applied in a batch format.

    Thats a good read, Jim. It doesn't address several different types of PEX applications and installation methods however, and it only concerns itself with new builds. Dom.

    If a house has no unbalanced issues for 12-15 years with copper and the valves don't change, only the piping changes, & the owners don't change their habits, yet notice the flow irregularities immediately... well, draw your own conclusions. No modern mixing valves involved anyway, just simple on/off, old -school style. Different clients telling the same stories, and keep in mind Florida has an scourge of re-piped homes. Dom.

    You use a metal scanner on the exterior block wall. Its simple and fast. Zircon is the one the State requires: http://www.zircon.com/SellPages/ScanAnd ... 6/MT6.html And these "inspections" are really just surveys, not inspections. Window size, roof type, door quantities, etc. The average house takes about 20 minutes to survey, 10 minutes to talk with the homeowner. 7-10 per day is not unrealistic. A large number of these contractors in this area are not HI's, and their inexperience shows. Dom.
