Some kind of electrical issue eating out the zinc? Low ph doing the same thing? Yes, it will probably be a sprinkler soon.

So, what caused the death? The bad transformer? The home inspector not asking for another "expert"? The electrician that wired the pool? The local inspector that gave the pool the permit to be used? The contractor that built the pool? Or, was it shit. As we all know, shit happens. Bad wiring, corroded connections, improper grounding/bonding, whatever. This is why we have E&O. This is why we need to charge a fee commensurate with our liability. This is why we need to "tell it like it is" without flowers. Tell the realtwhore to get a pool expert to do a separate inspection. I am truly sorry about the loss of this child. He may have, one day, become our president. I relate to this tragedy because I have an inground pool and my grandkids swim here on a regular basis.

Not sure why my name does not show, or my town and state. John Ghent, ASHI Member since 1980, past press ASHI, inspector since 1979, operated Goldring Home Inspections, Connecticut's Original Home Inspection Company est in 1956 and sold to US Inspect in 2006. Retired and enjoying it.

In ancient times the network blocked NY Giants football broadcasts in the major metro area. We had antennas pointed to Hartford CT so we could get the games.

No purple here. Still green on one side only.

No idea about the "80" but those appear to be renewable fuses which use an internal link that can be replaced. Google renewable fuses.

OK. Back to school for me. Good thing I am retired.

They appear to be subterranean termites. Formosan and damp wood termites don't usually thrive in Northern climates.

I have a 30 year old Oil Fired Burnham boiler that continues to run like a clock. It is serviced once each year by the company that installed it. I must state that you need to never shut it down as it will leak through the push nipples. It also leaks through the coil gaskets if it is turned off. It needs an adequate air supply for good combustion. Keep it warm and it will run forever. Mine is a "V" series installed in 1984.

There is no way to tell the quality of the original block composition. Not all are top quality.

Water. Ice melt. Rock Salt.

If you look at the individual wires you can see that the fried one is not mashed like the clean one. It was time for lunch and they forgot to tighten it.

Sounds like an electrician that used to sell popsicles at Burning Man.

I sure don't want to compromised my safety.

First buy a detector of some type that tells you when a wire is hot. There are many different types available. Make sure the power is off. When you try this switch replacement you need to release the two wires that are inserted into the back of the old switch. Use a small flat blade screwdriver inserted into the slot under the wire and it will release the wire. Read up on some basic electric b4 you proceed. You will also need to purchase some wire nuts to connect the new switch wires. Make sure you get the correct size.

Old sump pit. The pump rested on the three bricks at the bottom.

He knew it was wrong but he had the parts in the car.

I have used both Bootcamp and Parallels on some financial programs and Parallels is (newest version) hands down the best. I use a macbook pro.

First, the house should not be ugly. Second, the passive system should work. Third, there should be one good backup system in place in case the passive system does not work.
