Cracks by Muhammad R. Qureshi

Sun, 05/19/2013 - 08:07
Scot may,
My question is do these follow a regular pattern?

If so they could be the patch over the bolts holes that held the forms together ..poor job.
Scot. There is methods and apparatus for forming concrete.
Clips, of wire or nylon that is xx"s inches in width that break upon pressure being exerted upon them after the curing process, enough to allow the forms to be removed, is completed.
It is dependent upon the type of form and other materials the company uses.
No blots or I have not seen or heard the term bolts used..

I have seen some newer homes that have parging over the foundation is the builder giving more for the consumer or cover up..time will tell. Pic 3 looks like it might even be cement paint just by the consistency you can see a run out of a small crevice maybe home owner job? JMO

Humming in the plumbing

Sat, 05/18/2013 - 21:17
Soo, I live in a 1800 s.f. Two story townhouse built in 2007,the unit next door was foreclosed on an has been vacant for 3 out of the 4 years I have been here.
Last winter the plumbing burst ,the ceiling drywall fell to the floor. Numerous plumbers/ handyman/maintenance persons and realtors/buyers have been in and out since then. Every single time MY water gets shut off! Seems the main valve for the whole building is located in one of the closets in this vacant unit.
Every time this happens I have to tell whoever is there (if I can catch them) that they shut my water off! Two weeks ago they supposedly finally repaired the plumbing. Now,every few minutes, the plumbing in my unit "humms"/ vibrates.....very annoying. Any Ideas as to what is going on??? TIA.

Ceiling fan: why the wattage restriction for lights?

Sat, 05/18/2013 - 14:08
Howdy gents,

I searched the forum and didn't see this topic, so here it goes...

I have a standard, 15-year old Hunter ceiling fan with light kit, no dimmer. The unit specifies a 40-watt restriction for the lightbulb and I am wondering if that is due to an amperage restriction in the wires or to a heat restriction from the hot bulb?

Thanks!

Agreement Problems

Sat, 05/18/2013 - 11:51
Anyone else having an issue with the agreement system?

I'm trying to create agreements and add ancillary sections such as radon testing. When I create the agreement and view it the radon section is not included. I've tried it several times but it won't let me add any ancillary sections to the agreement.

Nick about our bet...

Sat, 05/18/2013 - 10:07
Nick,
We had a bet on if a home inspector can do mold testing in Florida. It is apparent that it can be done in areas under 10 feet. We had a bet on this and it appears that I have lost the bet.

Would it be acceptable if the I think it was a $500 bet, if I gave that money in the form of a donation to Jim Horton who was hit badly by a flood?

I never not pay a bet. I ALWAYS make it right.

Would that be acceptable for you?

Stern Talk'n To From Past Client

Sat, 05/18/2013 - 06:30
Yesterday I had a client's mother who I did an inspection for 6 months ago call. She said you remember when you did that inspection for my son back in November, I actually did. She said since then the roof has poured water through the pot lights in the bedroom, the toilet will not flush, the dishwasher leaks water all over the floor, and the washing machine had a concealed hole in it. She said everything is fixed now and if I would have did a better job and been more careful she could have had the seller fix these problems before closing. I went to Fetch Report pulled up the report and there it was; roof plumbing vent flashing needed repair, uplifted shingles, evidence of heavy leaking in attic, and a roof that needs to be replaced shortly. I ran dishwasher through a full cycle, flushed all toilets, and everything was working just fine. It even said on report to contact a licensed roofer for repairs. Last time I heard, the seller had someone come in and make all repairs including roof. Here we are 6 months later and "she just wants me to know". Unbelievable!
