    Since this thread I made it a point to learn more on this subject. Looking back on the photo's I can only say Yesh!

    NACHI Chicago is a great local with guest speakers @month. If you belong to any association you are a fool not to take advantage of the learning process. Unless you know it all of course.

    Last night ABC affiliate WLS did a report on the lack of quality inspections by AHJ's in the Chicago area. They average up to 15 a day. Nick Gromiko the president of NACHI is quoted in part. To read the entire article click here.

    I wish they were not necessary.

    Darn.. it sounded good when I saw the site just ten minutes before hitting the post here.

    I have just invited Mr Nolan with certaroof a chance to respond as it is his living. I do know I wish I'd thought of the idea.

    I know most of you guys make fun of these lengthy dis-claimers but dare one of you to show me a short two sentence contract. I do not think there is any doubt that everyone in this room has at the very minumum a full page contract full of disclaimers. It might be funny to say I am not a psychic, "but I do not need to be a mind reader to know a contract not filled with dis-claimers will be chewed up and spit out in court". These are the times we live in. You even need to click "I agree " every time you download a simple piece of software.

    Vents should remain open unless the space has been conditioned properly. Other wise you are begging for mold.

    By following NACHI... SOP I am following State of Illinois ..SOP and going beyond what the state requires, however if in a court of law I must state I follow Illinois standards as the appropriate answer.

    It may be Saints and Packers. Watch out as old man Farve has still got it.

    It all depends on your area. From the various threads I have read over time , my conclusion is they seem to in general work best in smaller markets.

    Scott what are the 1-5 numbers representing?

    How long will this sealant last? Sounds like a cheap fix rather than a real solution.

    Flashing where it meets the wall trim was the first thing I noticed, not looking right also.

    Do not forget what I said in your other post about making an excuse to go back to your vehicle where you can run back to get something and look at notes or collect your thoughts. If you have an inspector buddy from your association , ask him to pretend to be your helper and distract everyone. I bet no one here would mind if you gave them a quick call during the inspection, if you get stuck on something.

    It sounds like you are saying they did not plan for the veneer originally, and added a steel ledge. In this case , should they not still have added a moisture barrier and weep holes. You would still need them to get rid of exess build up assuming they did not fill the cavity with dropped morter.

    It can still be coming out with a low output but have been blown out by a air current. Is it possible to build up to where it could cause an explosion? Doubtful yes. Impossible no. Remember pilots blow out all the time with gas still pouring out. For the most part this kind of stove is in an older less air tight home, so much can dissipate , but is a big three letter word however.

    Thank you for the link Fritz. I have spent the entire day recreating one of my sites, but will be looking over the program as I am going to be doing my own diagrams in the near future.

    It is the same with many washer dryer combos. Not worth writing up. The only emergency where you need to shut it down quick, would more than likely be a hose leak in which case you would need to move the stove anyway. (let me add to blow out pilots on older stoves first.)I learned the hard way.
