Edit. The vinyl siding on the northwest side of the home is deformed in a diagonal pattern that looks like the same pattern known to occur as a result of thermal distortion caused by the reflection of radiant heat. This usually is caused by, but not limited to the reflection of sunlight from a nearby window. Because of the weather conditions at time of the inspection, I was unable to confirm this as the cause or determine the exact point of the source. For more information on this go to....... Then, go kick your neighbor's ass.

Thanks, Jim. My problem is, it was pouring out. At least you were able to show what was going on. Here's what I have so far. "The vinyl siding on the northwest side of the home is deformed in a diagonal pattern that looks like the same pattern known to occur as a result of thermal distortion caused by the reflection of radiant heat.

I ran into this yesterday, and I'm having a hell of a time writing about it. The pics don't show the damage clearly enough to bother posting. The diagonal pattern was there, the south facing windows from the house across the driveway, the whole setup was perfect. How would you write it without proof, without starting a war between neighbors, and ultimately ending up in a world of crap over it? It walks like a duck. It quacks like a duck.

I missed that is was your house the first time around. Sorry about the comedic remarks, Les.

Look at the upside of this. The dog hair kept all of that nasty stuff from being breathed in, and there must be some insulation value as well. It's kind of a GREEN filter.

I adopted an nine year old Australian shepherd about a year and a half ago. It's a smart dog. It's a great dog. However, I'm seriously considering changing the dogs name from Sheena to Tumbleweed. That's nothing. My dog would have blocked those ducts solid by now. Click to Enlarge 49.93 KB

Same here. I've had them work great, and I've had them do nothing but chew the rest of screw head into a perfect place to start the drill bit.

Don't let it bug you. I get it too. After a month or two, who cares? The new car smell is gone by then.

You're probably going to have to know a tree hugger to get a reservation.

The local health department says that's ok, huh? Wow. Waiter! There's an ant in my soup!

I saw that place on diners drive ins and dives on the food channel.

It's a grow OP.

This thread is starting to remind me of the commercial with the rabbit laughing at the snake with the baby rattle.

Only from really old folks.

What about the report?

OM, before you go, would you mind answering Ben's Q ? I'm curious too.

Did you see the news tonight? The guy who invented the Segway, drove one off a cliff and died yesterday. Stick with the buffer.

I agree with you. No glue. I think there's a greater chance of it splitting.

Now, Tom... Some of those poor fellows might be past home inspectors... He's just mad because his store won't give him an apron.

Hope you don't mind if I jump in. Tom might actually be working. Mine are the best in the universe. However, the shipping would kill you. Seriously, if they're made from real wood, most of the names you're familiar with are as good as the next. They're really nothing more than plywood boxes with fancy doors. The things to look for are, quality slides, hinges, and strong joints.

Better talk to his sister first. []

I don't get the joke. Damn it. I may change that little drop in from red to bold black too.

In black Several junction boxes in the attic are missing cover plates. If left in this condition, grandma could be seriously killed while getting Christmas ornaments blah blah.... fix it. No, I don't really write the grandma stuff. In red. "Any electrical defect described in this report, should be considered a safety hazard that should be corrected by an electrician as soon as possible." I'm hoping it makes them focus harder. That usually gets dropped below at least one of the descriptions. You need to take action. I stopped using a summary. I spend too much time adding arrows and circles to my pretty pics to have them be ignored. I'd rather they read the report and looked at the evidence. Mine are already too long because of the number of pictures included.
