Jack Ahern Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 In Maine, the "homeowner contractor" would rig up a condensate line from the buckets to the sill of their 1840s house-barn.Narrowly escaping any real work, they would then go for a ride on their Harley or Bass Boat and call it a day. It is scary!! This would also occur to a professional?? contractor! Anything goes in the Vacation State. I've inspected a few living spaces (homes) in my Maine neighborhood. No rules(codes) are good rules?? Even a little commomn sense?? It is hard to keep a straight face. Buyers do not like it when their home inspector laughs out loud.I'm staying in Mass. for a while longer.[:-banghea Jack Ahern Needham on the Charles

Scottpat Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 A couple of years ago I posted a picture of a child's swimming pool in an attic. If memory serves me, the owner even built a supporting base for the pool! Erby did you capture that picture, I know one of Y'all did.

Brian G Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 I saw another "swimming pool in the attic" photo at ITA Tampa. In that one they had to cut notches in the lip of the pool so they could push it far enough out towards the eaves to get under the leaks. It was a hoot. Humans are amazing. Brian G.
