Download Attachment: SV400030.JPG 1762.86 KB I found this on an inspection last week. This is a flex hose coming from the master bathroom fart fan. I have tried to find out via the IRC 2003 if this is legal. Can anyone confirm? This is venting directly into the attic over the garage portion of the home. I was taught in inspection training school that nothing should vent into the attic, but I do not know if that is code or just a recommendation. Thanks, Dan

Brian, you are too cool, man. You could not have said it any better! Before I even read your comments, I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!! I think you and I think way too much alike!!

Wheeew!! Sorry! Too many Homebrews last night I guess... P.S. (Homebrews) I brew my own beer. I'll try not to post late at night after brewing beer anymore! Dan

Gee, I know all about that. All too familiar with this situation. I spent about 40,000 on an education to the MBA level and committed 15 years to the IT field, 8.5 of it with Sprint, only to be sold to the lowest overseas bidder. Working for corporate america blows. Never again for this guy. I'll starve working for myself before I crawl back to corporate america and beg some 30 year old sniveling punk [:-censored] executive for a job. But hey, I'm not bitter... [] Dan

Brian, Your post struck a spark. I have recently been presented with a proposition to work for an appraiser doing supervised appraisals, etc. I have thought about doing this in conjunction with my home inspection business. My question is...what are your thoughts about the appraisal business. Why did you stop doing appraisals??? Would doing home inspections and appraisals on the same property be a conflict of interest???

id="left">I have a question about water pressure. I have a new home that is less than 1 year old in which I have low water pressure at the outside faucets. Inside pressure seems to be ok. I know there are ways to beef up the pressure with resevoirs/pumps/etc. but I am wondering if there is something simple that can be tried first. All the outside faucets seem to be about the same, so there doesn't seem to be any restrictions in one area and all the indoor plumbing seems fine as well. One thing I have wondered...Can anti-siphon type faucets cause a drop in pressure? I know that may be a silly question. If so, please forgive me. I just can't think of a reasonable explanation for a drop in pressure at just the outside faucets. I have not actually put a pressure guage on any of the faucets yet, as I do not have a guage yet. Lets just say I can pee with more pressure than my outside faucets' pressure provides through a spray nozzle. [!] Any advise or info is appreciated... Dan
