I should have mentioned I only had access to the deck from outside. That aside, when the home owner told me his wife fell through one spot and he cracked boards in another, I didn't feel the risk of damaging the deck or myself was worth it.

The home owner was surprised that I didn't want to walk on it. He had mentioned that his wife fell through a spot. And he cracked a couple boards in another spot. His wife insists the deck is fine and that a powerwashing will make it look good. Click to Enlarge 187.97 KB Click to Enlarge 192.71 KB Click to Enlarge 193.65 KB

While I understand your sentiments, it's our duty to observe and report. Doing this properly should cover our tails in the process. Anything less, in my opinion, is a disservice to our clients. Let them decide the importance of our findings. Your mileage may vary.

Earlier in the thread, some had mentioned pictures and such for appliances. For me, I take a picture of the plate and I write the information on the back of the 'inspection agreement' that the client signs. That way if the pictures don't turn out, I still have the info written down. Early on, I was burned by the bad pictures that didn't show the model/serial numbers clearly.

From the pic, there are two runs on the bottom of the panel, shouldn't those be in conduit?

When pulling a fridge, be careful not to pinch the water line. I had one that was copper and came up through the floor. There was just enough room between the cabinet and the water line for the rear wheel on the fridge.

Way to go! [:-angel] Glad no one was injured!

Roof shingles and this algea seem to be like the chicken and the egg. High moisture is bad for shingles but the algea loves it. So are the shingles deteriorating due to the moisture or the algae? Has no scientist researched this?

How can you move a liquid from one place to another using "absolutely no pressure" ??? I'm guessing, er hoping, that Kim means "absolutely no pressure ".

Thread drift... If we really had OCD we'd spell in CDO so the letters were in the right order... [:-paperba

They both are hard and each have their own characteristics. It boils down to personal preference. Like asking which is a better color, blue or green?

Does the fixture have a drip? Could be alge/mold.

Thank you Randy! I have a report to do tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to take a look at this.

I find it interesting that they use unnecessary connections with PEX.
