Is there a way to change the mb search. I just read a post that there are 81,000 new posts, which I am sure is full of great information. But I have had troubles searching and finding what I want. For example, the other day I was looking for Info on log homes, but apparently log is too short a word to use in the search function. I am guessing that the search is part of the program or what ever that is used to make the mb, as i have had this issue with lots of mb. Thanks for looking at this.

Good

I just looked at a manufactured home built in 2001. Some of the plumbing piping was gray and the word "FLEXILOY" was imprinted on the piping. Other piping in the home was PEX. Is FLEXILOY part of the PB issue?

Thanks in advance all for the assistance.

I have an inspection on Tuesday and the buyer has warned me that there is black copper present. I recently accomplished the Chinese drywall course and I feel confident that I will be able to get an idea if there is Chinese drywall present. But what if there is? Reporting/inspecting for this kind of situation isn’t part of the SOP’s but since he has warned me on the issue I will have to “report what I see” but recommend what next? Who would he contact to fix/further investigate? It is a short sale.
Do you do Chinese drywall inspections? If so, what do you charge? The course teaches you how to go room to room and inspect the attic which would take a long time. Just curious how you charge for this inspection as it could be timely.

It appeared that these two breakers were installed for the sales office in the garage as this was a former Ryland model home. I could not tell if they were still being used. Besides overloading the space is there some other violation here? There was no breaker id.
Also a Siemens main was used with a Square D sub. Does that fly or does it just depend?

LOL.

What do you do when you run into a house where the water heater circuit breaker is off? Do you flip the beaker? Do you check that the water supply valves are open? Or do you document what you see? Such as, “breaker was off and unit was not tested”?

Are there any exceptions to the ground/neutral separation requirement in panels that do not have a service disconnect in the panel? I have a 400 amp service, two 200 amp disconnects in a switch panel (big switch on side of panel to disconnect the service), panels located on each side of disconnect panel with grounds/ neutrals mixed. Wrong?

What would be the pricing for a 12 unit condo in CA?

Hello Inspectors,

If you are using a fillable form to complete you Wind Mitigations, you need to print them as PDF prior to sending them. If the fillable form is sent out, it can be altered by anyone. It also confuses the agents. (That's how I get the call).

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about or is unsure. Feel free to call or PM me.

I will be very glad to help. :D

Can anyone tell me the correct spacing in between hurricane straps for a double wide mobile home?

I need to know where my property lines begin and ends. is there someone that can do this for me?

I don't really need a home inspection I just need an inspector to check the renovations that were just done to my home to make sure they were done correctly.

in this Bird s h i t.
Hey Gary do you know what that white stuff is I know you prolly never get a chance to see this stuff from the ground as birds are like me they like the view from the highest part of the roof lets one see it all in one view.

This morning inspect was a nice one I actually ran up the valley

Seems an odd setup. Why would the sub-panel have a 100A disconnect at the main panel, and another 100A breaker at the sub-panel?

200 amp meter and main breaker. One, full main panel, and two sub panels: one 100 amp for addition, one for separate A/C of 50 amps. Total of 1,180 amps of breakers, 13 of which are all 220's.

Too much? Local licensed electrician says that by NEC code, it totals up to be 190 amps, and the meter is adequate for this size of home.

7,500 Sq. Ft, three A/C units, two kitchens. 6 Baths.

Opinions?
