I've had a client or two ask for me to change a report. I politely tell my clients that it's against my ethics to do so and hang up the phone. I never hear from them again.

I may not post a lot but I do learn a lot from every single one of you. Thank you and Merry Christmas to every one of you.

Around here the are called a vault lock. I have one myself as I do not have a secondary access to my garage. They do come in handy during a power outage.

I just got a warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside [:-paperba

I do all my reporting on my netbook. Mine is an Eee which is the manufacturer for Acer. I use mine solely for inspections and do not have any issue with it. If you don't want to lug around a full size notebook a netbook it the way to go. [:-thumbu]

Very nice [:-thumbu]

Jim, We see the quintets all the time around here. Must be one of those regional things again.

As far as I could tell the big 85 is in the model number not the serial number. And thanks guys I completely missed the little ANSI #. I guess it's time for me to check my prescription again.

First time I have run across a Dayton water heater. My research has resulted in no helpful information. Can any of you gents tell me how old this is and how did you determine that. Click to Enlarge 34.35 KB

Thanks for the responses guys [:-thumbu]

The "E" you see on the panel says relay which is the only other marking other than charging switch. The unit was on an interior wall in an unfinished portion of the basement in an 1960's ranch. Below is the only site I could find that has a product even remotely that resembles the relay box I saw. http://www.dentalez.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=76&Itemid=72

I haven't seen one of these before and there was no manufacturer data plate on this. The only thing I could figure this for was an old alarm system relay, the attached receptacles were a good hint. The blue wiring was "hot" when tested with a non contact voltage sniffer, the on/off switch was in the off position when tested. The receptacles were live when the on/off switch was turned on. The ampere needle did not fluctuate at all when in either on or off mode. If anyone has information on the actual use for this I would appreciate it as I am in the midst of writing the report. Sorry for the low res pics I forgot to change settings prior to taking these. Click to Enlarge 22.37 KB Click to Enlarge 40.39 KB Click to Enlarge 55.98 KB

One or the other or both should apply here UPC 906.1 Each vent pipe or stack shall extend through its flashing and shall terminate vertically not less than six (6) inches (152 mm) above the roof nor less than one (1) foot (305 mm) from any vertical surface. or 906.2 Each vent shall terminate not less than ten (10) feet (3048 mm) from, or at least three (3) feet (914 mm) above, any openable window, door, opening, air intake, or vent shaft, nor less than three (3) feet (914 mm) in every direction from any lot line-alley and street excepted. Bill, some areas do not allow for AAV's to be used. Here in St. Louis city they do not allow them to be used but other municipalities do.

Apparently I take the opposite stance on this subject [:-paperba

This just sums up this whole thread IMO. Click to Enlarge 35.46 KB
