  1. I've heard of inspectors that were not willing to work for attorneys and I have known several reeltors that I never hear from that refer me when they're working with an attorney/buyer. I say work for whoever rings your phone because they can all hire an attorney in one phone call. In 10 years I have passed on exactly two inspections. Each of the two were calls from blatant, clearly obvious, assaholics. I just couldn't see myself spending half a day with either of them.
  2. http://www.snopes.com/katrina/photos/aggie.asp Captain is right on according to snopes.
  3. http://www.lpcorp.com/radiantbarrier/sa ... rrier.aspx I saw this on a new construction this summer. It seemed like it was actually working because it was hot hot hot that day and the attic was not very hot, and it was in full sun.
  4. I love the Ultra Stinger too. I also carry a Poly Stinger for looking under cabinets and in closets. I always take two of each to compensate for the shorter battery charge. Works great for me. I have never been left in the dark, or at least since I started carrying the two pair.
  5. I've lived the last 15 years in two different houses with the disconnect outside. Not one prankster in all those years. Not even on Halloween. I do see the pad locks on them several times a year on inspections though. Horror movie fans........
  6. I had one like that about a month or so ago. The only difference was that the heat only cycled up to the point of ignition and then started over. The vent fan would start, then the starter would glow, then it would stop, and then start the cylce over again. Weird to see. The technician that came while I was there said it was a board at the furnace as Jim indicated it might be. The unit I saw was in the attic and who knows how long it had been doing that. I knew something was up as soon as I pulled the stairs down because the vent fan started just as I opened the attic.
  7. http://www.hometuneup.com/ Give this company a call. I've never tried it but did sit through a presentation by their company once.
  8. 2 X 10 joyce No the house has no basement, BUT it does have a cross base. I occasionally will also hear......chimley.
  9. WOW. Liar and punk are not commonly seen words on the ole forums........
  10. I bet all of that was added after the house was built. The new owner wanted food disposer so they tore out the plumbing to install and then reconfigure and added the electrical. If it were there on original construction surely they would not have put the switch under the sink....
  11. By the way, what's a ranch condo? Is that a duplex owned by two different parties? The ranch condos I've seen have all been 4 per building. Ranch/slabs. 2 car garage in all units. It was really nice but best I could tell it was all retired folks living in the comuunity.
  12. Jim, I am not familiar with this requirement in GA and have never seen a pulldown in a garage installed this way. I had one yesterday on a ranch condo that was installed/built in 2003, same ole 1/4" plywood pulldown. It was in Marietta/Cobb Co. I'd love a good reference to include in my report. Thanks
  13. I drive the Xterra too. Previously had Pathfinder but the pathfinder went all luxury on me. So I went with the Xterra this time around and like it as much as I did the Pathfinder. I think I will always use an SUV for inspecting. I like everything being inside and lokced up out of the weather. I did look at the Honda CRV and I like it alot but I paid about the same for the Xterra and it has V6 over the Honda 4. And it seems to be a little roomier. Shop around and see what fits you.
