I inspected a home today, where the owners complained about black, soot-like marks on the living room and kitchen ceilings. They have a six-year-old home with high efficiency gas furnace. The exterior furnace intake pipe drew much less air than the exhaust pipe exhausted. Is that natural? The furnace is in a small bedroom-sized basement room that is kept closed to keep out family pets. I thought the furnace might be starved for air and giving off soot that has collected upstairs. I tested some of these marks with a moisture detector. They were dry. I also used a thermal camera. The marks were somewhat cold. Any ideas?

Found this http://www.nachi.org/fl-cilb-approve...e-provider.htm which I guess is only for a wind mitigation course.. once taken does InterNACHI report this to the FL DBPR so we get credit?

Are there any other courses InterNACHI offers so we can complete the 14 hours of continuing education for a contractors license?

Do the class above also count/report for the HI license?

Last night I had a dream that I was admitted to a psychiatric facility. (Insert snicker here)

The strange part about my dream is that the only person who could make a phone call to get me out was..... Nick Gromicko.....

Seriously..... LOL

There is going to be a news story tomorrow night on I think channel 11 at 10 PM (Mon) on unlicensed home inspectors in Minnesota. Have no idea what it is going to be about, but bet it will not be good! Minnesota does not require us to be licensed so (duh) I guess they will be talking about all of us!!

Hi, I have an inspection for a solar earth home, as labeled by customer. Is anyone familiar with this type of home? I have seen a earth home with windows facing south, but are the roofs spancrete or ? Should I look differently than an above grade house? The house is located in Central Wisconsin,Thanks

There was a discussion awhile back and somehow, I believe it was Russel Hensel who said, he had never seen a G.F.I. receptacle that was tripped and still had power.
Now you have.
This was at the inspection this morning and the home was built in 2000. I just wanted to show that it does happen.

Looking for any history of through wall HVAC mold regarding hotels / motels. Papers or past litigation. Thanks

Have a good friend considering the inspection business. Any advice specific to Georgia would be appreciated. He's a non inspector looking to go in a new career path.

Thank you.

What year did the IBC start requiring residential garages to be fire taped? I just inspected a 2008 single family with attached garage and it had bare drywall on the walls and ceiling. Anyone have an answer?? Mike Paule, Peoria IL
