  1. My guy complained his wife couldn't close and lock a second story double-hung window, and since he was out of town, threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't go out and fix it immediately so his wife would not be at risk of being raped and his house being robbed, or some such drivel. I don't know why, but I relented and drove out to the house. His wife was trying to close the window with the latch in the locked position. . .
  2. I haven't braced/tied-off/secured a ladder in over 18 years; never had a problem. Lucky AND stupid, I guess.
  3. I'd hire that kid in the neighborhood everyone hates as a helper.
  4. I believe it means it doesn't provide over-current protection. I think it's just a disconnect.
  5. I ain't got no answer, but on a related note, anyone else make a big deal about SEC's being within 12" of the roof? I used to flag it all the time, but quit doing so unless they're way too close (under 2" or abouts).
  6. I know. Just one reason (of six) I think you're sweet.
  7. Oh, you . . . . . I guess you did call me first and ask. . . Sweet of you in a couple ways.
  8. I was gonna suggest Cramer-ware, but remembered that's what you've been using. It does everything you want, but yeah, you gotta be at least semi-literate in MS Word to use.
  9. Is that auto-text or auto-correct? Either way, way cool. How'd ya ever come up with that?
  10. Well, I guess you can tell your friend to go ahead now, Tim.
  11. Why rebuild? Simply have the block wall clad with aluminum or vinyl siding.
  12. Uhmmm. . . Weren't you leaving?
  13. Yeah, the food. My buddy goes over there 4-5 times a year. He's an upper management guy at Cat, and they're building a plant there. Says the phrase "how much is that doggie in the window" ain't a song; it's a grocery store thing. And the motorcycle girls. I wanna talk about them, too.
  14. What if such foolishness is a brain disorder caused by mold? Think about it. . .
  15. f
  16. You make a great observation. I've been thinking that for 18 years. As one once said, many are at best professional door unlockers, though since watching more than a few struggle at opening their little key-box thingys, let alone a deadbolt, I'm doubting that as well.

    Me love you long time. . .
  18. Yeah, and modern smoke detectors are a direct spawn of them folk in KY who hung Jiffy Pop over their bedroom doors.
  19. Anybody here fit the bill? I need office help to sync all three programs together. I pay well. If interested, private email me. Thanks. jerry@illinoisbuildinginspection.com
  20. Does it have to be oriented so the toggle is in the up position when the furnace is on?
  21. This Heatilator fireplace was labeled by the seller as broken, so I didn't try to light it. That said, what's with the thermostat to the side of the fireplace (& it ain't for the furnace) Click to Enlarge 26.06 KB?
  22. Yep, a workhorse. Been using my 17' LG for 18 years inspecting, and 6 years prior at another job.
  23. Come on now Jerry, news this good (at least I hope they were tears of joy) deserves it own new thread! Done. . .(thanks)
