Attachment 63726 Attachment 63727 Attachment 63728 Attachment 63729 Todays panel is a Magnetrip with Zinsco breakers. House was built in 1940. Beside all the double tapping, can anyone fill me in with more comments on this mess. I already told her to change the whole thing, but have not sent my report yet. Entire home is 2 prong outlets Attached Thumbnails Interesting statistic about CO deathsAccording to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report, engine driven tools (including electric generators) cause more non-fire CO deaths annually than gas furnaces, water heaters, and ovens combined. In fact, since 2005, there have been over 72% more CO deaths from engine driven tools than from heating systems.
Read the rest of the article at http://homeenergypros.lbl.gov/profil...sg_mes_network InterNACHI in France?One of our new projects is to establish InterNACHI in France.
I will be traveling there this summer and am currently in touch with people in the Real Estate and the Home Building industry. Kenton and I will be working on this project in the following months. I am also hoping that my ability to translate will come of use if we decide to adapt the courses to the French market. As of now we don't have any French members, let's change that! Founding an inspection industry in MexicoI'm headed for a week in Cuernavaca, Mexico starting April 9 for meetings on development of a Mexican inspection industry. At present there are virtually no in-country pre-purchase or jurisdictional inspectors working in Mexico. We at InterNACHI hope to work with partners in related fields to change this.
I'll be posting while I'm there. Some Pictures from South KoreaHi folks!
While I'm busy developing InterNACHI features, I'm also slowly traveling the world. I've set up Skype so it will call my phone with a US number, so anyone can still call me at any time without international fees. Here's a few pictures from South Korea! The strange statues are actually from a town that worships phalluses. The row of animals are based on the Chinese zodiac, each pictured inside a phallus. Hopefully that doesn't offend anyone. I just think it's fascinating that there's an entire national park devoted to it. The world is strange! There's also a picture of some strange Korean plumbing, at a motel.

They don't want anyone, the homeowners, the NEXT HOMEOWNER, a home inspector, city inspector etc to SEE the deterioration they covered up, they didn't correctly identify and didn't fix, got that? Efflorescence.....this guy 'gets-it', OBVIOUSLY many others do NOT! http://aggregateresearch.com/forum/v...D=820&MID=2360 in part says, "The best way to prevent the problem is to prevent water from infiltrating the blocks.......Whenever we see this problem, there is usually a leak somewhere that ALLOWS water to ENTER the block wall...." Find it, find the problem(s), then fix the problem then clean the dumb efflorescence. Can't do that by misguiding,misinforming people and telling them INCOMPETENT DOGSHTT like, Oh 80%-99% of all peoples problems/leaks are due to the GRADE......nonsense. Omni Basement Systems $20,000 interior systemSays, for about $3,000 you can get a 'partial' system' lololol.
$20,000 for this junk here, block wall....and lady, this isn't 'waterproofing' Jesus, 'COVERING the wall'....aka hiding the wall and allowing further water to enter and run into a stooopid interior system is NOT 'waterproofing'. THEY did not 'stop' the water from entering, from where its still entering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ5m-zXkpbU Efflorescence, mold and these terds don't STOP the water and COVER the wall(s). And $20,000? lol Where's are the do-goody-pumpers of inside system who say,claim they are 'alot cheaper' and other bullshttt. Then near the end where Lisa-Lisa yaps about paint n shttt, this guy says, "If you want this basement DRY you gotta drain that water away"....aka install the one thing they do,inside system. The water is AGAIN, entering the blocks THROUGH openings/cracks on the OUTSIDE. Concrete tile roofI inspected a home that was built in 1983. Indications were that a wood shake roof was installed when the home was built. The roof had been replaced with concrete tiles (not sure when, no information available from Realtor, buyer or permit). There was an indication that the roof on the right side of the home appeared to have bowed slightly in the center from top to bottom. The galvanized gutter on the right front of the home appeared to be out of alignment, directing water towards the center of the gutter. The interior ceiling in this area was vaulted, so, of course, no attic to check the structural support. There was no collateral damage observed in the ceiling or the drywall. I suspect that the weight of the concrete tiles may have caused the bowing and gutter issue. What are your thoughts and how would or should you report this? I have attached pictures. Thank you.
By the way, the back side of this roof attic was accessible with 2x8 wood joists, 16" OC. There were no indications of problems on the backside in the attic. The roof was a salt box gable style. Attached Thumbnails Happy Easter everyone.Happy Easter.
Losing one to the cheap guys in townHi all,
Had an inspection scheduled for Monday am but the buyer found another inspector who specializes in low prices. I'd heard about them before but this is the first time it's mano a mano with them. The house in question is small and cheap so I think I'll let this one go. I was going to charge 295.00 but they're charging 185.00! Galls me to lose an inspection to these bozos but thats the way it is sometimes. Tom OntarioAchi AGMThe Ontario Association of Certified Home Inspectors is over 1 year old.
