I'm not sure from your photos that the crack has anything to do with the deck/porch or how it is connected. I would be looking at foundation settlement or moisture entry from the joints on the window sill. I don't see any way those joists would still be horizontal if they were not passing through the brick veneer wall.

Considering how easy it is to steal one of these, I actually have wondered why I don't see something like this more often.

That's what she said

That's a tissue dispenser.

No question about it, that's EPDM.

From their website: Once you link up your US bank account, Square will automatically initiate a payout to your bank account at the end of every business day. If you are a new user to Square and have already received $1,000 during the last seven days, Square will defer initiating the amount in excess of $1,000 for 30 days. Payouts to your bank account will normally register in your account within 1-2 business days. Plan on transacting more then $1,000 regularly? No problem! We'll periodically look at your account and increase this automatically without additional user input needed. There are a few factors we look at when increasing your deposit amount, including refunds, chargebacks, and whether or not the majority of your transactions are accepted with your card reader. We always recommend that you use your reader as much as possible; those transactions are more secure for everyone involved. Please note that we're more likely to automatically approve users that do this.

I read that tht part about holding the excess over 1,000.00 which turns me off a bit. While it doesn't happen often, that I collect 1,000.00 in 7 days via cc, it has happened a few times in the past. Yea, apparently they do that when you're a new customer, but they say they adjust that amount after you have some processing history with them.

I used to have a Windows 6.5 phone and all I can say is that Android blows it away. Much faster and less buggy. I've seen a lot of articles on BGR and other cellphone type sites about Windows 7 issues. It seems like their phones are not going to be able to keep up with Android, IPhone and Blackberry. If 3D is integral to your routine you are stuck for now, but I'll bet they will release and Android version too.

I bought the Sprint/HTC EVO Shift about 6 weeks ago. I must say that this things does everything it suppossed to do, and does it very well. Much better than my HTC Windows mobile phone I traded up from. 6 bars of signal strength in my house (with Sprint's Airave signal booster) and no signal issues in places where I used to have 'em with AT&T. Battery life on this phoine is very good. I usually have about 35% left at the end of the day. Excellent call quality and the HTC Sense overlay just keeps getting better and better. Android has many useful and mostly free Apps too. Two big thumbs up![:-thumbu][:-thumbu]

Well, the swiper device arrived today and I made 2 test transactions. One through the swiper and a second one that I keyed in. Both were very simple and worked perfectly, though the swipe was obviously easier.

I also signed up for Square after I saw it on another forum. Got an email this am letting me know that the device has shipped and I should have it in a few days. I haven't accepted credit cards for about 2 years now and I don't think I've lost any business from it, but there have been a few hurdles with out-of-town clients and people forgetting to bring their checkbook to the inspection. I was looking for a service, like Square, that only charges a processing fee. I do pass that fee along to my clients and have had no problems with doing that. I guess Marc won't hire me though []

Gutter installers using levels? You gotta be s***ing me!

Honestly Kurt, that has not been my experience. I only get bad reception in my home. My workaround is to set up my home landline # as the "call forward" #. When my cell rings while I'm at home, I hit the "Decline Call" button on the phone and it gets forwarded to my landline. It's really the only reason I still have a landline. I got full signal strength nearly everywhere else. I don't have any horses in this race, so I'm not trying to defend AT&T, it's just that my personal experiences and the information I've collected, points towards hardware issues.

I’m on AT&T and I don’t have an IPhone. I think the service has been fine, although I don’t get very good reception in my home with my current phone (HTC Tilt2). I had great reception in my home with my last AT&T Motorola smartphone. Based on this information, it’s pretty clear to me that this is a phone issue. I’ve spent some time at XDA Developers Forum (Ultra Cell Phone Geeks) searching their database, and concluding that I would need to reflash my Radio Rom if I want to improve reception. I’m not gonna do that since it’s a bit risky and you could “Brickâ€

I texted him the other day. He's still alive, and as Chad said, in China. That's all I know.

As a general rule of thumb (and best practice), standing water should drain/dry within 48 hours after a rain. There are several roof systems (some coal tar pitch systems, EPDM and other single-ply systems) that can withstand standing water indefinetly and remain watertight. There are even inverted sloped roof structures that are designed to hold water to help cool the building, although they are few and far between. It's usually fairly obvious if a roof structure was designed this way. Large amounts of standing water on a roof that was clearly not designed as an inverted slope, can be a weight issue. Obviously I have no abilty to calculate roof load capacity, so on a roof that does not appear to have been designed to hold water but is holding substancile amounts, I would call it out for further evaluation by a structural engineer reguardless of the roof system or its condition.

Battery life has been great so far. I got the flashlight in mid December and 1 set of fully charged batteries (Powerex 2700 mAh) lasted through the month. Granted it was a slow and partial month, but still much better battery life than I expected.

I did the same with slightly better results. 100% exhaust, 10% horse power. I'd rather be watching football (Go Bears!).

Around here, I've only see a/c compressors on the roof, and I won't switch those on at all in the colder months. If they're not labeled (or if I believe they are inacurately labeled) I site common deficiencies like worn foam insulation, roof flashing details (both very common), out of level, compressor not isolated from the roof and so on. Whether I can determine which unit is theirs or not, I think it's also useful information to let my client know what percentage of the rtu's are older/original, and how many have been replaced.

XP does/did have a tablet version that had full tablet functionality.
