What do you do when you run into a house where the water heater circuit breaker is off? Do you flip the beaker? Do you check that the water supply valves are open? Or do you document what you see? Such as, “breaker was off and unit was not tested”?

Are there any exceptions to the ground/neutral separation requirement in panels that do not have a service disconnect in the panel? I have a 400 amp service, two 200 amp disconnects in a switch panel (big switch on side of panel to disconnect the service), panels located on each side of disconnect panel with grounds/ neutrals mixed. Wrong?

What would be the pricing for a 12 unit condo in CA?

Hello Inspectors,

If you are using a fillable form to complete you Wind Mitigations, you need to print them as PDF prior to sending them. If the fillable form is sent out, it can be altered by anyone. It also confuses the agents. (That's how I get the call).

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about or is unsure. Feel free to call or PM me.

I will be very glad to help. :D

Can anyone tell me the correct spacing in between hurricane straps for a double wide mobile home?

I need to know where my property lines begin and ends. is there someone that can do this for me?

I don't really need a home inspection I just need an inspector to check the renovations that were just done to my home to make sure they were done correctly.

Hey Gary do you know what that white stuff is I know you prolly never get a chance to see this stuff from the ground as birds are like me they like the view from the highest part of the roof lets one see it all in one view.

Seems an odd setup. Why would the sub-panel have a 100A disconnect at the main panel, and another 100A breaker at the sub-panel?

200 amp meter and main breaker. One, full main panel, and two sub panels: one 100 amp for addition, one for separate A/C of 50 amps. Total of 1,180 amps of breakers, 13 of which are all 220's.

Too much? Local licensed electrician says that by NEC code, it totals up to be 190 amps, and the meter is adequate for this size of home.

7,500 Sq. Ft, three A/C units, two kitchens. 6 Baths.

Opinions?

Years ago we made the mistake of allowing payment at closing. We are trying to untangle that web (chasing 30k just in the last year ugh!) and have thought of requiring payment on the website via credit/bank card first to access the report. Basically pay, get a password after payment verified, download report. Any done this or have any suggestions? I can build simple websites, but this is way beyond me lol.

ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL!
If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you love them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace the gentle heroes that you left behind.

My Daily Prayer,
God, please bless all of our American servicemen and women especially those serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and those serving in countries where people would seek to harm them.
Please grant them peace of mind, peace in their hearts, clarity of vision, clarity of mind, and quick physical reactions. Please give them good cold drinks, hot food that tastes good, and a warm and safe comfortable place to sleep.
We ask all of these blessings in the name of your son Jesus Christ amen.

Bought a new cordless tool set the other day and it had a catalog in it for additional tools that will work with the batteries. Thought I would post it here and see what you pro's think. I will not be purchasing one for a while but would like to add this to my arsenal. And by this I mean thermal Imaging. Take a look and tell me what you think. There is a video with further spec info.

With the MFG of R-22 being limited in production less each year until it is discontuined I have noticed the cost of R-22 has shot out the roof. Thus it brings out the less than honest contractors and home sellers.

I have encountered A/C units lately during my inspections that I suspected had refrigerant leaks that were never repaired and the contractor just kept adding refrigerant every year. This is very hard to determine and most of the time is speculation only as there is no real proof bottle feeding is taking place.

As the owner of bottle fed A/C units it would be a requirement to disclose this in a Real Estate contract, but it would be rare for full disclosure.
