Jerry McCarthy's article in WorkingRE

Good job Jerry! Nice article. It's easy to see that you wanted to say a lot more than you could....reading between the lines. After you've been an inspector for a long spell...you know a heck-of-a-lot-more than you can ever say. Kind of like being a parent. "...do as I say...ignore what I do..." I can't tell you the (whole) truth...because '...you can't handle-the-truth.' Anyway....thanks for what you said...thanks for what you didn't say but we all understood. Good job Jer. Thanks for sharin' Glenn...........in La$ Vega$

Eave Vent Replacing Rafter Blocking

I currently have no venting for the attic. I'll have a ridge line exhaust vent installed with the new roofing. For intake vents I'm considering replacing the 2x4 blocking between some of the rafters at the eaves with 3 1/2 x 22" screen vents plus a rafter vent at each eave screen vent to provide a air channel through the insulation batts. Does this present a structural problem? If so, is there still a structural problem if I add 2x4 blocking further up the roof between the rafters that no longer have a block at the eves? The added block would have to be sufficiently up the roof to not block the rafter vent channel.

Drip Edge/Gutter Details

Should I accept the drip edge that makes a simple bend down along the fascia or insist on the drip edge (might be called a D flashing?) that projects out about 1" and then comes back to bend down along the fascia? Because my understanding is the back of the gutter slips between the fascia and the drip edge, is a steel drip edge acceptable (dissimilar metals corrosion) with aluminum gutters? Does aluminum flashing require aluminum nails, or are galvanized nails acceptable? Do aluminum gutters require aluminum fasteners and hangers, or are galvanized fasteners and hangers acceptable?

Furnace exhaust fan

Something I haven't seen before. Natural draft water heater and induced draft furnace utilizing a shared B vent. The fan on the roof runs constantly. The controls in the utility room shows the amount of draw and the button on the right is utilized for the light only. My comments to the buyer is the appliances should not have to rely on a mechanical vent fan for correct venting and to have it checked out by an HVAC tech. Speaking with an agent after the fact I found these were commonly installed as part of the MAC (Metropolitan Airports Commission) as part of their upgrades to homes in this area. I've inspected several hundred MAC upgraded homes and have never seen this.

Rental Weatherization Authorization Inspection

Hello Everyone, I have been monitoring the goings on here for a while now, and really have learned a lot of useful information, THANKS! I really enjoy the back and forth discussions, they are fun. Now, for my question, I got a call today for a "Rental Weatherization Authorization Inspection". What I know: The gal has already bought the home, wants to use as a rental property, and her attorney advised her she needs this type inspection to be performed, has anyone out there done this before, and what could they possibly be looking for? This is not much info to go on, but it is all I have. Any and all help is appreciated!

Air condensate drain lines

Here we go again. This has been kicked all over this site but I can't find what Im looking for. This is an air handler is in an attic with a coil. Primary drain with pan. However the pan drains into the primary drain. Code says pan OR secodary drain line needed. What if there is no sec drain, there is a pan but it drains into the primary. Defeats the purpose according to me:)

05/17/2012 05:18 PM
Is this ok?

To me, this looks like someone is burning something flammable in a firebox meant for a vented gas log insert? There is a metal flue with a damper. The gas line on the right seems to have been capped off?? Is this ok? I don't think so, but I'm not sure...

ASHI Images from ASHI Experience?

Hi - I know this is a long shot, but I suddenly remembered a photo graph in a old ASHI advertisement that showed a guy with a bunch of business names crossed off his back and the last one was "Home Inspections" - OR SOMETHING like that. Anyhow - I searched the ASHI site and couldn't find copies of those images, so I was wondering if anyone one here has those, or knows where I can find copies of those images? I am working on a newsletter that addresses licensed contractors perfroming home inspections, and I think the image will draw attention. Thanks - JD PS - I am an ASHI member, so there shouldn't be any issue with me using the images, if you have them....much appreciated. Peace -

Age of through-wall Emerson AC?

Older AC units in 44 year old condo. Serial # 83L 439658. They all work, more or less. I'm thinking 1983, but does anyone know for sure? They definitely look like they could be that old.
