Distracted Driving Taken To New Heights

Or new lows. There are numerous jokes here but I will leave them to others (for now). Driver crashes while shaving bikini line (http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/3423294/Driver-crashes-while-shaving-bikini-line) ---Quote--- An American woman has crashed her car while shaving her bikini line. According to a report on news website KeyNews.com, a 37-year-old woman crashed her Ford Thunderbird into the back of a Chevrolet pick-up truck while trimming her pubic hair. Megan Mariah Barnes was allegedly travelling with her ex-husband Charles Judy on her way to visit her boyfriend and reportedly needed to tidy up her personal area, so Judy took hold of the steering wheel while Barnes attended to her bikini line. The car then crashed into the back of the Chevrolet truck while travelling at about 70km/h. But the story doesn't end there. The pair then drove up the road and swapped seats, and when Florida Highway Patrol officer Gary Dunick got to the scene, the pair claimed that Judy was driving. But officer Dunick wasn't fooled. A CBS report claims the officer noticed passenger airbag burns on the chest of the man in the driver's seat, and that the driver's airbag didn't deploy. Barnes shouldn't have been in the driver's seat in the first place (let alone with razor in hand). According to the CBS report, Barnes had been driving with a suspended licence, just a day after being convicted of driving under the influence. She was sentenced to nine months of probation, and her licence was revoked for five years. CBS reports that Barnes is now charged with reckless driving, driving unlicenced, fleeing the scene of a crash, and driving uninsured, and she may face a year in jail for violation of her probation terms. ---End Quote---

Insurance Coverage

Hi, I am just starting out as an inspector and was wondering which insurance companies you recommend for e&o as well as liability. Any other suggestions you have as far as insurance policies would also be helpful. Thanks in advance, Joe.

Attic Flooring May be causing ceiling to crack

I have a floored in storage area in my attic and have recently developed a crack in my garage ceiling. My garage is a 3 car size and DOES NOT have a support beam inside the garage. Several houses in my neighborhood have the same 3 car garage and while some do have a post in the garage, many do not. How can I find someone to inspect this area and tell me if adding a post will be sufficient to stop/repair the crack or if I need further structure work?

fire sprinklers to be required in PA

*Rule would require sprinklers in new Pa. homes* BRIAN C. RITTMEYER The Associated Press TARENTUM, Pa. - Beginning next year, all new one- and two-family houses built in Pennsylvania (http://topics.philly.com/topic/Pennsylvania) will be required to have an automatic fire sprinkler system. Safety officials and other supporters say the systems , more commonly seen in business and commercial buildings , will save lives and reduce property damage. But those who build and sell homes say the requirement , along with other building code changes , will add thousands of dollars to the price of a new home and hinder the housing market recovery. The change has prompted a lawsuit, and efforts by some lawmakers to block the requirement. Under the 2009 Uniform Construction Code, which the state follows , sprinklers are required in new homes starting Jan. 1, 2011. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there were 414,000 residential fires in 2007, the most recent year available. They resulted in 2,895 deaths, 14,000 injuries and $7.5 billion in property damage. Fire administration studies say residential sprinkler systems could save thousands of lives, greatly reduce injuries and eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars in property losses. Sprinkler systems cost $1 to $1.50 per square foot in new construction , about the price of a carpet upgrade. Insurance discounts for those with sprinklers range from 5 percent to 15 percent, according to the fire administration. Home systems are much simpler than their commercial counterparts, said Ed Howley, of Building Inspection Underwriters in Jeannette. They use plastic pipe and run off a home's water system. "It's not intended to put out the fire completely," Howley said. "It's intended to suppress the fire to give people time to get out of the building and first responders to get there." Pennsylvania is the first state in the U.S. to adopt the requirement, according to the National Fire Sprinkler Association, a trade association.

Web site hosting and email

I am needing to change from my AT&T - Yahoo hosted website and email to a different source. Since I am relocating my home office, I might not have access to my current DSL provider through AT&T. (I Don't know what the ISP provider will be in the future) I am thinking of transferring over to GoDaddy to host so I am not tied to my internet provider for my email files, etc. Any words of wisdom to facilitate transfers? Providers preferences? I have one of my sites with GoDaddy for several years with no issues but I have not run my email through their service. I find it very useful to have access to historic email documents so I would like to be able to transfer or at least save everything now on Yahoo severs since I fear access to my paid account through AT&T- Yahoo will be lost once I drop their ISP service. Thanks, Jim

Thought I'd Just About Seen It All Until...

I have seen many odd and even dangerous things in my years in the building trades and as a home inspector but I believe this takes the cake. It combines sheer stupidity with imminent danger and reckless abandon. The series of photos are of a parking area security floodlight fixture and its supply conduit for a 2 story condo parking area. Neither the light fixture nor conduit are secured to the building until conduit tops out and runs horizontal across the roof. A conduit connector about 8' below the roof line is loose and allowing the conduit to buckle. Finally, at about knee height off the ground, a junction box (former receptacle box?) has it's lid ajar just waiting to catch water or have someone put fingers into it. The conduit continues into the ground at grade. Granted, it doesn't rain much in the desert, so why then would they even install gutters that collect roof runoff and direct it onto the conduit?! Go figure...

Cut joist repairs?

I wonder when architects, builders, tub makers and plumbers will finally get this right? If the bathroom wall is located over a floor joist, and the floor joists are on 16" centres, the middle of the average tub will land directly over the next joist. :confused: Does anyone have pics of quality repairs to butchered I-joists like this one?

Roof Coating Shingle Roofs

I am in the process of updating a handout/ booklet that I give to Mobile Home Buyers. One common thing I see is there are a lot of mobile home owners that have someone, usually a semi retired person in the mobile home park, apply roof coating over the roof shingles, with the thought this will help reflect the sun and save energy costs. And instead of replacing the roof, the roof can then be re- coated every few years instead of replacing it. Besides voiding the shingle mfg. warranty. The problems I've seen with doing this is.. Most of the older homes have minuium attic venting ,this can auctually create moisture build up in the attic, and coating roof shingles can cause leaking due to blocking the shingle tabs, and restrict drainage. Are there any other problems when applying roof coatings over a shingle roof?
