  4. I think by opening the hot side on the faucets and washing machine it let air into the supply lines. Which then gave the water heater the needed air to further empty itself. Captain
  5. The seller closed the gate valve. There was no vibration. I did not open gate just made sure it was turn off. I opened a number of valves, no hot water through any faucets. The water heater started to leak pretty soon after I turn on the washer. Before a drain cycle. And a mixing valve should not send water back into the system that's cross contamination. And it was a lot of water leaking. I think I know what happened now but let's see what else we can come up with. Captain
  6. As I asked my seller a few questions he tells me the water heater is not working. As I pass the water heater I test the gate valve and it's closed. I turn on the kitchen faucet and no hot water, actually no water coming from the hot side. I do not test the dishwasher. I go to the washing machine and start a wash, now I always start at hot water then change to warm then cool, then back to warm. I realize that it's not working on hot because there is no hot water duh. I turn it to cool and go about my inspecting duties. I look down and I see the dreaded footmarks, that usually means a leak. The water heater is leaking internally and coming out around the bottom drain. Can someone explain that to me,please? This is 90 minutes into inspection and the water heater starts leaking very soon after the washing machine starts. WH and washer same level same room. Captain
  7. Mark Take the course and when your done do what Mike suggested, inspect with a pool guy. After a few together if you feel comfortable go on your own. Down here about 50% have pools. Captain
  8. Oh sweetheart just a reminder I have an inspection @1pm next Sunday probably take me 3 to 4 hours and when I get back will do dinner. Now that's being a man. Captain
  9. I have used pad and pen, it has worked for me. Captain
  10. I just did a 6,000 Sq ft home and the further away you were from the panel the larger the voltage drop. I reported what I found, explain what was voltage drop and I recommended that the electrician correct it. Captain
  11. "In my report, you'll see that some items need correction. I recommend that you have these items repaired or replaced; the sooner, the better." Captain
  12. Brian Can I steal that? Captain
  13. One of your two hots was out because of the power company. That's was why you had no lights. When you turned on the saw you only had half or 120 to the saw. When you turned off the saw the power was returned to the other leg and your lights went on. Captain

  18. "Dating a Sears furnace" My wife would kill me. Captain
  19. Well, you see, it's like, the singular /plural thing but in reverse. You can use both singular and plural in one sentence if you are describing two separate things. More than one neutral (plural) on one terminal screw and the use of are (plural) meaning that there are more than one instance of this occurrence.. Captain
  20. There are more than one neutrals placed under one terminal in the electric panel. Have electrician correct. Captain
  21. Yes no yes. Captain
  22. Walter likes to write about what he calls bucketheads who appeal to Realtors with code words. I just thought he would appreciate it. Captain

  24. The sec looks like aluminum to me. Captain
