Talked to owner today as I was picking up Radon CRM (22.3 pCi/L, maybe that is causing it, said with tongue-in-cheek). PEX is 10 years old. Took another closeup picture of a fitting behind the well pressure tank.. Owner runs dehumidifier, setting two feet away, all summer. Could someone not have put as much pressure on the rings as is required? Can the clamping tool get out of calibration?

House was built in 1978. Recalls mention Zern with stainless steel rings and IPex with a zinc rich fitting. Can someone direct me to a website that I can add to the report.

What Kurt wrote. Go to a meeting of North Central ASHI or the Ohio Chapter of ASHI, stand up and announce that you are willing to work for peanuts and sign a non-compete contract. Someone in Cleveland or Lake county is got to be looking to expand eastward.

How much?

That school money would be better spent giving it to a nearby Inspector to be his lackey for however long it takes for you to learn the ropes.

Jeremy, What is the substrate? If it is the concrete block, I could not find where this product is made for that type of application on the BASF Acrocrete website. I would email or call them to get more info.

Mid-Century Modern is a new class of historic houses (some are listed on the National Register) that is starting to take off. Google Retro Renovation and you may find a picture of that door. I think they list 59 Mid-Century House Museums on their site. If you don't want to clean it up, try listing on Ebay or take it to a old house salvage yard and see what you can get for it. Somebody that wants to bring back poodle skirts and bobby socks will want it.

Erby, You take a A/C unit into the crawl?

Ya, I thought the title was a bit tit-a-lactating, I made a boob-boo, I meant tits-elating; Uh, forget it, my mind is stuck in the utter, I mean gutter.

Because you wrote that the windows are sitting on the floor, be sure to use safety glass. They also need to be sized right for egress in case of a fire, which means you may need to go with one large window instead of two. What the others have said about closed cell foam should be all you would need for insulation.

I installed the stainless steel screen that the manufacture provided but it iced up over the first winter and kept shutting my furnace off. I removed it and now when I do my yearly cleaning of the unit, I open up the sealed combustion chamber and remove the BBQ'd bird of squirrel. If an animal gets in there during the summer, the smell tells me I need to do a cleaning.

Flashing? Isn't that the sticky stuff that comes out of a tube.

Ohio, nope

As it is at the front of the house, could it be a clean-out plug for the sanitary sewer.

Got it

I mark mine with the saw and brand of blade that made it. Found out my saws and even different blades have different measurements between the edge of the shoe to the blade.

Something in the inducer motor?

Contact your attorney! Years ago I inspected a home that showed major damage to finished basement from water (all was dry, we were in a drought at the time). That and many other problems had the buyer walking, seller lowers price and says only a small amount of water ever gets into basement. Buyer moves in, rains came, basement floods. Buyers lawyer ask me to look at and prepare a report as they were going to court to sue the seller. I did (without getting an agreement with the lawyer). Goes to court, Sellers lawyer ask the judge to enjoin all parties involved. Three RE agents, two brokers, and I get joined with the seller to defend against the suit. It turned out to be a costly lesson. Contact your attorney!
