Marc Most of them are 40" X 30" X 2" if you want to do the math. Thats why there are suppose to be sloped to the float switch.

I have found a few that the drain line from the tubs was leaking and where the shower pan was leaking. Like Erby said walk the outside again after running the water.

Here is where I did a little HVAC upgrade on one of the girls’ house on the university here. Not as grand as Darren’s project. I wish I had took photos before I started tearing out the fan coils We tore out 26 fan coils for the second and third floor. The second floor coils was above the ceiling and the third floor coils was in the attic We installed 22 new fan coils and 4 one-ton Mitsubishi Heat pumps for the sleeping porches. The 4 units work off one exterior unit. Here are some shouts of the Mitsubishi Heat pumps Click to Enlarge 81.01 KB in attic Click to Enlarge 73.02 KB Second floor sleeping porch Click to Enlarge 33.33 KB Click to Enlarge 44.45 KB We replaced the old water chiller with and new 10-ton chiller. Click to Enlarge 65.06 KB Click to Enlarge 53.2 KB What made this bad was the fan coil unit that they wanted us to use would take 8 weeks to get here so we had to order some fan coils that where larger to get them there in two weeks It is fun installing fan coil units that’s 6 inches wider than the one that was there to start with above the ceiling in the hallways We had to move the control boxes to the side the coil hookup where on so we could have some room to pipe the chill water to the coils. 4 of the coils we had to mount the control boxes to the walls and had to pipe the control vales for the water away from the coils not next to them as they are installed most of the time.

In some of the older homes I have done where you could tell that there had been roods there because of the voids in the dirt most of them did not have any damage from the rotten roots. A few had some damage. I guess it would depend on where the roots are and how large are the one you cannot see. I would go with what you told them to start with.

When I saw lick and stick em issues I did not think of exterior wall coverings.[:-dev3] John thanks for the link.

Les, It seems like you are inspecting the same type of crap I do. I would like to know how you inspect 3 homes like that in one day plus get out the report. I would be at each house 3 to 4 hours and it would take me at lest 2 or more hours to write the report. By the way I am a Bud light man, but I will try anything someone else is buying/[]

Thank you for the information. It is the first time I have seen this. I talked to some of the inspectors n my area and they had not seen either. I could not get a good view of the ends so I could not tell. There where other electrical problem so I recommend to have the electrician verify which one it was.

In the 50's did they make stranded aluminum wire or stranded tin coated copper? Click to Enlarge 78.05 KB Click to Enlarge 37.42 KB Click to Enlarge 34.37 KB

There is a few subdivisions built in the 90's that I see them here. After that it seems that not many where installed.

Around here there is a shut of at the meter and on newer homes there is one just outside the house you can turn off by hand if you keep the dirt out of it.

It may just be my neck of the woods, but most of the arch windows I see have a steel lintel installed. The 5 year old house had past repairs of the mortar joints and the house across the street with the same window had a lintel. The 30 year old house the bricks above the arches did not have any cracks.

I know some type of arches do not need support by a steel lintel support This week I have run into two homes that did not have visible support. I believe there should be some there. I would like to hear what the group has to say. This is from an 30 year old house and all of the front window where the same.

The only time I've seen Manual J calculations is when I was learning how to do them. Even if you have them done you still have to installed the duct properly. A zone system is what you need to keep 2 or more levels at the same temp.

I did not pay attention what form we where it and was thinking starting doing inspection. My bad.[:-paperba

Charlie, It would help if we knew what equipment you already have.
