    Does anyone have a reference that states a building inspector must be called out to inspect siding? That's not a requirement here in NJ.

    I attended a seminar a couple of years ago that showed this type of vent (never seen them installed). I include a link to Airvent.com whenever I find lack of attic venting (about 90% of the inspections. http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/produc ... edge.shtml

    When I see CSST that's not bonded (about 99% of it is not), I report it and include the attached. This way I don't have to field phone calls from electricians telling me I don't know what I'm talking about or asking how to do it. Download Attachment: CSST bonding.pdf 509.05 KB

    I did one about a year ago on a 1.1 million brand new house that my clients passed on. The builder sent me a letter from the installer saying it was done correctly and all that other BS. I sent all the code info to my client who backed out of the deal. To be honest, I'm still waiting for the lawsuit to come.

    A worm drive is the only saw I see on my jobs.

    Zappa did that while on tour. The difference was the panties he collected were 'used' ('tiny skid') and a quilt was made that went on tour. It was hanging in the Atlantic City 'House of Blues' a couple of years ago.

    The door went all the way to the ceiling. Thank you gentlemen.

    Does anyone know if it's required to have an operable 'window' on top of a shower door when a steam unit is present in the shower. I've usually seen them present except for yesterday's inspection. Thanks

    Same way a townhouse development in Riverdale got CO's when the furnaces & water heaters in the garage closets were slightly elevates but not the required 18 inches. Some inspectors don't know the codes.

    Gee, I hold it didn't leak. That would be a lot of hand digging.

    I can them out every day. Someone trips and get hurt, guess who's on the hook. Risers, treads and rails; that's where most accidents happen.

    This is what I used to do for well flow; I 'think' I got this from US Inspect relo jobs. Run the top sink & tub for a total of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn off the sink and fill 3 gallons of water in a bucket within 60 seconds.

    Motion sensor?

    I thought Kenny Hart & Joe Denneler were pretty good. The one Wed late morning with Joe Denneler had 12 or so people in it; that blew my mind the fact he was going over state laws and past cases and only 12 or so people were interested.
  21. Darren
    Yep; right after that class was over, I had to run to where Kenny Hart had the furnaces set up just make sure I was thinking clearly.
  22. Darren
    I wonder if it's the same owner who stood in front of a class of about 100 inspectors and, with a straight face declared a fan assisted furnace is considered a Cat III appliance and Cat III appliances are the most used appliance there is; all of this on his power-point presentation that was given out as part of the class.

    Did you ever post them; I'm looking for a 2006 guide also. Thanks

    The NJ Plumbing code requires 'joints where fixtures contact walls or floors shall be caulked or otherwise made water tight.'.
