There might be something on the label on the inside of the cover that permits 2 conductors under 1 terminal. I'll check next time I see an Eaton CH panel. I'm quite sure there will be something in the "manual" that states: "This product must be installed in accordance with the NEC". Therefore, the neutrals are excluded from being allowed to be doubled.

My experience has shown the complete opposite. Neither can I.

It's a 3 ton unit, probably manufactured in 1997.

TPO is not PVC. Although TPO, PVC and CPE are all thermoplastic roof membranes, it's important to be able to identify each. For one example, there's been many issues with TPO formulations, resulting in failures not seen in PVC. Anyone inspecting commercial or apartment buildings should really consider taking a course in commercial roofing. I certainly wasn't qualified to identify materials and their installation requirements before finding the proper training.

No one is going to publish that they're "not hazardous". The EPA's asbestos guidelines for homeowners will have some sensible do's And don'ts about dealing with common ACMs in the home, including flooring.

That's one of Certainteed's lovely "Shangles" that used a granule overlay to create the illusion of worn, striated shakes. The stuff manufactured in the late '80s and early '90s was pretty well known for severe granule loss at the edges, surface cracks and there were many, many warranty claims. There was a class action filed in PA.

That's not how it's interpreted here. Only one exit door has to conform to that section.

When did York stop printing the date of manufacture on the bottom corner of the sticker? For example, manufactured July of 2006 is printed "MFD 0706".

Then it seems to me that Code Check (once again) conflicts with most code officials' interpretation. I believe Darren is correct.

Gas or propane line?

The most common issues that I find with shake roofs are: The headlap is sometimes wrong The sidelap is always wrong Many agents insist that I'm full of crap when I discuss the very short life expectancy of recent shake roofs.

I don't think that would apply, since we're discussing PEX.

I haven't carried a 32' since I stopped going into Philly 7 years ago. A 28' works for most everything else, except some that I need to leap-frog from a porch or addition. Brandon - I'm shorter and lighter. The 32' used to hurt on occasion. The 28' is easy.

It happened to me three times. I was the only one in the process that didn't have a clue. The inspections were for players from both NY and Phila teams. One subsequently appeared in the news frequently after being arrested for a serious crime. The only celebrity that got offended that I didn't immediately recognize him was a local news anchor.

I have the pleasure of seeing them pretty regularly. Hollow tile floors are quite common here within the mansions built between the late teens to late 30's. They're standard in almost all the French Manor, Beaux Arts and Tudor Revivals over 7000 sq. ft. Plumbers, HVAC techs and electricians seem to always leave behind evidence of their frustration when trying to retrofit systems.

No. That would be for an associate degree in drafting technology. How were you in high school calculus and trigonometry? How about English too?

The thin insulation in John's initial post is known as "indented" asbestos wrap. It's extremely common in the mid-Atlantic states. It was used in residential buildings as late as the mid-late 1970s, but not very common after the mid 1960s. It is made of cotton and asbestos fibers. No need for folks to waste their money testing on a known ACM. Click to Enlarge 144.82 KB There was also a thicker wrap that was more commonly used in very large homes and commercial buildings that was a felt product that contained starch and asbestos fibers. Jim K's pic shows a couple layers of alternating plain and corrugated asbestos wrap. It's the same product that was frequently used on steam pipes (Asbestocel). It was originally manufactured by Keasbey & Mattison, then Johns Manville.

I'd guess it supported a worm housing, that contained the worm that fed coal to the furnace from the hopper.

If not on the tag, the date is stamped onto the lever.

Anti-oxidizing paste or antioxidant paste. I take an antioxidant each morning - vitamin C.

Regarding the reporting of fogged windows, there's something else to consider. Check your state's requirements for reporting or definition of a defect (if your state regulates home inspections). Also, check the home inspection clause in your state's standard real estate contract. A couple fogged windows might not be something that would/could be negotiated in some areas. If there are several, the expense could be significant. I know in PA, there was a precedent where about fifteen or so fogged windows in a home were determined to be "a significant adverse impact on the value of the property" and should have been identified as a material defect.
