Will code allow for the following:

House was built in 1973 and has seen no upgrades.

Breaker #9 (15amp) handles two half baths (lights, fans and GFI rec) as well as family room lights and receptacles and living room receptacles (approximately 12 combined).

I know code would not allow that today but was this proper back when the house was built and is it ok to leave it?

Thanks.

This was brought to my attention Kenny Hart.

... to a third party, in exchange for services to grow his business --- in addition to his clients' permission, should the inspector disclose to his client (1) the fact that he is getting something of value in exchange for the contact information and (2) that he is being paid a commission when his client purchases from the third party?

Or should these facts be concealed from his client?

How funny.

As infrared technology has advanced, radiometers have become a common tool for many maintenance technicians and mechanics. Although radiometers are relatively easy to use, there are several important factors that influence the accuracy of a radiometer’s readings.

While many infrared applications have been developed over the years, infrared roof moisture surveying remains one of the most difficult for thermographers to understand. This is due in large part to the fact that there are so many different roofs; roofs types, roof waterproofing, roof insulations, roof substrates, and roof decks.

Wound up with 350 extra Z5 traps after a huge camp job went south on me. Paid $5.00 a piece for them after shipping. Will sell for $4.00 a piece + free shipping (Or best offer) if you buy a case of 50. They expire in August so let me know.

Inspected a banked own home today that had it's water turned on last weekend. When I entered the home (6-days later) I heard right away sounds of water running. Walked into the kitchen to find water dripping out of cabinet below sink and the entire floor area in front of the sink was submerged in water. Immediately went to basement and found extensive water damage. The suspended ceiling "Dropped", finished walls soaked, basement floor flooded, electrical service panel cover was dripping wet. Cause of the flooding was the supply hose to the dishwasher was removed and shut-off was not capped, valve had a slow trickle in closed position. I hate to be the company or individual responsible to explain what happen. My client stopped inspection before it started. I still got paid and gave credit towards next inspection.
