  3. Gee Tom, I sat right next to you for three weeks and it only took me a week and a half to figure you out. Well, except for the guy in his early to mid 40s having 150 years of contruction experience part.[:-tong2]
  4. I've spent this whole month getting lit up every time I get out of my truck. It's been dry here. About eight or nine years ago I was one of the Unlucky dogs sent to work on the replacement of the roof on the Carrier dome in Syracuse. When it's deflated, It forms a huge bowl and a perfect spot in the center to stage gang boxes, material, and a water cooler that some genius decided to put a thermometer next to that read anywhere from 116 to 126 degrees by 2pm. Think that doesn't work on your head? Although I spent most of my time out of the bowl securing the new fabric to the outer rim, sooner or later I'd have to hook off to a safety cable and walk the rib between the fabric to the bottom for bolts or something. Every single stinking time You stepped from the rib to the fabric and back or hooked off you'd get whacked. After two weeks of that, I was ready to kick that punk uncle Fester's ass in a BULB OFF. Thanks for bringing back that memory, I'm starting to twitch again
  5. Thanks gentlemen

  10. Hey Jodi, Just for the sake of my sanity. We are looking at the back of a set of stairs with 5/4 treads and 1/4" risers right?
  11. I stand corrected again. Sorry Jodi, these guy's are right. It's not our job. I was only trying to answer the posted question and suggest a remedy in a way that an experienced finished stair builder might correct not band-aid the problem.
  12. Jodi, If the treads are in a housed (routed) stringer, Gluing and screwing another piece of plywood of the same size to the back of the existing riser and under the tread should take care of it. But before they do that, they should make sure that the bottom of the existing risers are glued to the back of the treads.
  13. This may turn out to be a good thing in the long run. He may do more to educate the public about the do's and don'ts of hiring an inspector than anyone seems to have in the past. Sooner or later he's going to have to address the conflicts of interest that many times result in less than a job well done. I think it's long past time for a TV show about home inspectors. Too many people still know very little about the process and the people that do, were likely educated in a real estate office or by a cameo appearance at the end of one of the "buy this house" shows Love him or hate him, people will watch this Monday morning quarterback. I hope he does it right. Is anyone here not going to watch? Is It a conflict of interest if the realtors sponsor his show?
  14. Perfect timing Tom. I'm in the same situation right now and I'd like to know too. I'm leaning toward eating $25 because I now have a client for a client instead of a stranger.
  15. Yup, "Made with the flavors your dog craves most." I had a dog that would once in a while, turn around and enjoy a helping of piping hot loaf then want to lick your face.
  16. It's from the boss beating the installer for not staggering the laminate flooring.
  17. For some reason that reminds me of a sand trap. Must be cabin fever.
  18. G2419.4 Sediment trap. Where a sediment trap is not incorporated as part of the gas utilization equipment, a sediment trap shall be installed downstream of the equipment shutoff valve as close to the inlet of the equipment as practical. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom opening of the run of the tee or other device approved as an effective sediment trap. Illuminating appliances, ranges, clothes dryers, decorative appliances and outdoor grills need not be so equipped unless specifically required by the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions. Thanks gentleman. Enjoy the Superbowl.
  19. Is a drip leg required at the connection to a water heater from a natural gas line?
  20. Why? My biggest question about closed cell has always been, about condensation. How does moisture dissipate? What about the difference between the indoor and outdoor climate?
  21. Terence, It didn't dawn on me until Bill gave me a clue. ES, I don't know. I don't Think so. This is a college town. It's also a small town. They tend to beat nonconforming landlords asses hard here. They do annual inspections. A 23 year old's flat screen was in the way of the fireplace . I love tennants for the info but.... I Just want have to get Right. You know. Oh sorry, it's a duplex circa 1930 Thanks
  22. Thank's Bill, Can't tell What flavor it is but, I googled flex liners and understand what I'm looking at now.
