    Looks like a circ pump.

    Hey Les: When you're using your VOM you measure voltage between the mesh and the K&T neutral?

    Jim: Any idea how many is lo?

    Well, I looked in our states code book and although it lists PVC as acceptable SERVICE pipe it is not listed in WATER DISTRIBUTION PIPE. I'm going to call them Monday to discuss. I, like Bill, thought it was ok for cold water.

    Hey Mike, Do you have a link with any documentation on this? Has IRC/UBC eliminated PVC as approved piping for water supply? Thanks.

    ***Thread Drift Alert*** Kurt, your reporting software on Tablet PC? If so what are you using and how bullet proof is the Tablet PC?

    The deck could be hinged so it folds up against the side of the trailer thus providing mobility. []

    Good info Jim.

    I wouldn't glue i/o carpet on wood stairs. Also, most of the i/o carpet I've been on gets slippery when wet - it's that cheap plastic stuff I'm talking about.

    That's what I've heard as well. Also, they are to be placed on a concrete footer as well, not just on the ground or a basement floor.

    Could have an inline pressure regulator going sour.

    My only advise with electricity is to hire a licensed electrician. Getting electrocuted can ruin your day not to mention your life.

    How old is the home? Galvanized piping perhaps?

    I check the hot water heater draft diverter for spillage while it's running on it's own. I watch as it fires off to make sure it doesn't have roll out or a lazy flame. I also check the furnace (older models) the same way. I then like to run both appliances together to check draft. They do make a flue draft gauge that you can inset in the flue (after drilling a hole)however, I have never used these during a home inspection, only when I use to run service. How do you check em?

    Hi Bill: The majority of chimneys around here extend from the roof line by 6'-8' or more. There is just no way to look in from the top. Also, I find that the clean out hasn't been opened in decades and is usually rusted closed. I always check for proper draft however, not being able to view the insides well makes me a little uneasy.

    Thanks guys. Do you put this in for a gas/oil heating chimney as well (non-fireplace)?

    Looking for chimney boiler plate. This would be for those old ones that you can't see into. TIA

    Is it the hot water, cold water or both? Does the smell go away if you run it for a while?

    Hope your getting a great deal. In addition to what Chad said, ask your builder if he is pulling any permits for the job as well.
  22. Terence McCann
    That's quite a find Les!
  23. Terence McCann
    How do these work? A switch to reverse them perhaps? TIA.

    Hi Jack: The first thing the client is going to do, even before moving in, is furnace and duct work replacement(the existing duct besides being very dirty is too big for todays systems). The duct work was wrapped in asbestos which, was torn and tattered.
