  3. I may be wrong (at my age it is not unusual, just ask my wife) but I think a bunch of houses like that were built for military housing and one of these "crawlspace plenums" killed some folks when an exterminator treated the crawl for termites. But not sure about the placement of the furnace.
  4. Repave, Dew Too to many pops.
  5. The switch costs vary. https://www.google.com/#q=automatic+changeover+switch The electrician also varies but in CT the cost would be about $600 including the switch, depending on the length of run from the gen to the panel.
  6. The generator will be wired to automatically go on when the power fails and go off when the power is restored. It can run on propane or Natural gas.
  7. For the aggravation and cost of a flooded basement a small automatic backup generator would make a lot of sense. https://www.nationwidegenerators.com/ge ... hgoddNoG0A
  8. 1X divided by 2 = 1/2X
  9. The steam from my son taking a two hour shower sets it off.
  10. The window is leaking. Water follows a joint/seam in the sheathing and exits there.
  11. I run windows 10 on my mac through Parallels. Smooth as silk.
  12. Well, yeah, but his whole downstairs is covered by the house obviously... and is concreted only a garage , kinda like the neighbor in the photo but more open. I mean, you've got to take that into account, right? I fully agree, despite the Weather.
  13. My split was built in 66. The front foundation has the original sleeve for the water line but it was discovered last minute that there was no where else to put the septic except where the water line was designed to go. The line was diverted to the side of my split and comes under the footing at that point. It travels under the slab of the family room and emerges in the basement. I keep "listening for leaks" but so far so good. I am not looking forward to having to replace this line in my lifetime.
  14. Looks good. Easy draining of your pasta.

    If you have access to that toilet's feed you can tap some hot water into it. That will keep Uranus pink and warm.

    Yes, it is, both.
  17. Or, Norwalk Connecticut http://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/02/nyreg ... -case.html
  18. 1977 As I suggested earlier the flooring system you photographed was common in a prefab called a "Deck House". Check out some 1977 styles to see if they are similar to what you inspected. http://www.ncmodernist.org/deck.htm http://moderncapitaldc.com/2008/10/29/u ... -for-830k/
  19. When I pulled a register damper from the main floor I could see a cross section of the laminated planks. I should have took a picture because it was clearly three pieces of 1x6 pine laminated together with tounge in groove cut in to lock it all together. Google " Deck House ". That is what their flooring systems look like.
  20. Like this example: Also what Kurt said. Make it sexy. you could even find a picture from the historical society. Download Attachment: Untitled.pdf 45.86?KB
  21. I think the building pix should be improved, eliminate the distortion from the camera angle and bump up the picture size by removing the few text lines above it. Sit with a type font book and pick three or four different fonts. Make a page with each font. The sans serif is not sexy. Start paragraphs with a larger bold face first letter. And why is the type greyed down? Can you get better shots, all the same size of the stained glass? Make them link with the different headings.
  22. Got this email today. Been retired for ten years but still get appeals. This may or may not appeal to anyone but I thought it merited a viewing. You may or may not be aware of this but I thought it interesting. Good morning. I was actually supposed to get in touch with you in your office today but I figured it would be easier to email you first. My company is actually looking for a good Inspection Company that our Real Estate Agents can refer to their homebuyers that need to get a home inspection done. My company The National Real Estate Association focuses on teaching our Real Estate Agents that one of the first things they need to do is set up a team with a good Home Inspector to help out their clients and make sure they are moving into a quality home. Because of that we have a lot of consumers that are always looking for a good home inspector to work with immediately. So basically we just wanted to find a few home inspectors in the area that will work with our Real Estate Agents to help them out. By having a few Inspectors on our site in each area it ensures there are no RESPA violations so you have nothing to worry about in that respect. For the most part we just wanted permission to recommend you to them, make sure our Real Estate Agents have your contact info for their clients, they know what serives you offer and that you?re willing to do inspections for their clients. The main thing we?re trying to accomplish here is we teach the Real Estate Agents we work with if they team up with a good Home Inspector it really helps out their clients. A home inspection is never about finding the cheapest inspector. It needs to be about finding a quality inspector that will do a thorough job inspecting the property so they know what they are getting when they decide to submit an offer on the house. So we?re putting together NREA recommended Home Inspectors for them to use for every one of their clients. Just to be clear we don?t charge you referral fees or fees when our Real Estate Agents recommend you or when you do inspections. We simply ask that you become an affiliate member of the NREA and keep your bio and info current and up-to-date. It?ll take you about 2 minutes to fill out your profile and we?ll start recommending you immediately. All you need to do is go to http://nationalrealestateassociation.com/ on your phone or computer and click ?Get Listed Now? on the homepage to become an affiliate that we can recommend. We?re only looking for a few Home Inspectors in the state to work with so please just spend the 2 minutes to become an affiliate member so we can refer you to all of our home buyers and Real Estate agents. This will let us know how they should contact you and see your page as well as your bio as a Home Inspector so they know exactly who they will be working with. Once you have your profile created we?ll be able to start referring you to our Real Estate Agents and homebuyers right away. Also once you have created your profile you can let everyone know that your inspection company is approved by The National Real Estate Association. We look forward to hopefully working with you and having you as our newest NREA Approved Home Inspector. Thanks, Allison Cromwell 585-441-0342 acromwell@thenationalrealestateassociation.com www.nationalrealestateassociation.com
  23. And they will most likely get what they pay for. A Half assed inspection.
