  1. Yes you can.
  2. Found this in a crawl space. Not sure how they eventually removed the body.
  3. Just close the feed to the boiler and watch the pressure gauge for any drop. Too many gadgets require lots of experience to analyze properly. My bad. I edited the original statement.
  4. I would think that if an inspector promotes and advertises "life saving" reports he/she is inviting trouble. I think we are/were in this business to be successful and prosperous and HELPFUL in discovering defects so folks can make informed decisions to buy or not to buy. We/I was not trained to be a life saver, just to be a great inspector.
  5. Makes sense.
  6. Do you write reports for "Peace of Mind" or to identify conditions? Where do you ply your trade? Do you have spell check or a thesaurus? concealed defects that make exist.
  7. "I have a house that I’ve inspected on a pier and beam foundation." That's probably something to consider as a possible cause. I have a fireplace that has settled, (cracks in the lower courses but not higher up) because it was built on a garage slab without a correct foundation.
  8. Very much not homasoate. What Kibbel said. Homasote Sound Barrier Sheathing 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. R-1.2 Sound Board
  9. The State does not but cities do.
  10. What is the name of your electric utility so I can buy some stock?
  11. Nothing runs like a Trane. My 5-ton is going on 16 years old.
  12. Here is a pix of a black carpet beetle. The debris does not look like carpenter ants which leave a frass that looks like it came from sawn wood.
  13. I think the immersion in water, (ground water and septic water) created a perfect environment.
  14. Great for making milk shakes. Or, put it on the curb with a "Free" sign attached.
  15. Dennis, you are replying to a topic that was discussed in 2015. And many of your previous posts were also directed to old stuff.
  16. Is the red wire lower left fried? And the one above marked Kitchen?
  17. Love Ben' Aura brand. Been a Ben fan many years.
  18. Running water and flush toilets 79ad, before the coliseum was finished.
  19. When I was a code guy for the usaf we made these speed keys with hack saw blades which had a really great flexibility. Yes, the one in the vid is wimpy.
  20. Here is a link showing a modern version of the older telegraph unit.
