seattle home inspector: She loves me----she loves me not! - 11/24/09 12:00 PM
One of my favorite Monte Python segments was the one about the Black Knight in, “In Search of the Holy Grail.” The story is about King Arthur coming to the Black Night that is guarding the bridge that “No man shall pass.” King Arthur ends up cutting off all … (25 comments)
seattle home inspector: When was the last time you played, “Dress up?” - 11/12/09 08:20 AM
People sometimes ask me how I come up with all my crazy ideas for blogging (well they don’t actually say “crazy”---but I know what they mean).
First of all there are a couple of techniques I use to keep myself focused.
#1. The total number of blog … (27 comments)
seattle home inspector: Jack & Jill----Singing along in the shower----to the Dead Band - 11/11/09 10:33 AM
Sorry----this is not about the Grateful Dead Band----and only “loosely” about Jack & Jill in the shower----and certainly not about them being in the shower together.
Once again I am going to venture into the never ending world of water heaters.
Put on your seat belt … (24 comments)
seattle home inspector: Hide and Seek----it is for kids of all ages! - 11/10/09 08:59 AM
Kids L♥VE to play hide and seek. When my kids were little we used to have some really great hide and seek “events.” The little ones would always want me to hide them----before I hid myself. You see, they used think I knew all the really cool places for … (25 comments)
seattle home inspector: HERE----take your dang business card back! - 11/08/09 08:05 AM
After ordering pizza---delivered----to your new home the day you move in, the next big event at the home is the housewarming party. The one you hold for all your friends and family----to show off your new digs.
Having been invited as the "honored home inspector" at such events … (27 comments)
seattle home inspector: Even from the Brooklyn Bridge this looks like trouble! - 11/07/09 10:19 AM
There are not all that many roofs that I do not walk on---but one of the kinds I don’t usually walk on is steep metal roofs. If one thinks back to their childhood---they make slippery-slides out of metal for a reason. I know there are plastic ones, but they … (36 comments)
seattle home inspector: Rumpledsowsear - 11/06/09 09:10 AM
Once upon a time (for some reason I seem to be living into fairy tales lately) in the not-so-far-off land of Doogle, there lived a blogger and his beautiful daughter. In order to make himself appear more "important," this blogger fibbed on the Internet and on the MLS that … (18 comments)
seattle home inspector: The Little Red Hen----pecking away in the RAIN! - 11/05/09 09:18 AM
Once upon a time, there was a little blogger who had a little blog at . He was friends with a dorky duck named Quackers, a stupid squirrel named Nutsy, and a cryptic crow named Raven (and then there were the hundreds of other friends).
One day the little … (39 comments)
seattle home inspector: Got Blog Fodder? - 11/03/09 01:52 PM
I would be very surprised if there is anyone that frequents this site that does not know the term “fixer.”
As a home inspector, when I hear the term a couple of things go through my mind. First of course is: “blog fodder.” I can’t help but … (31 comments)
seattle home inspector: Go ahead---turn me on! - 10/27/09 01:20 PM
Sometimes we have those “light-bulb” moments in our lives where something just “clicks” and we understand things in a way that we just could not grasp them previously.
The “mechanisms” for these moments are not well understood, and yet sometimes it is actually hard to understand how we … (29 comments)
seattle home inspector: What is one of the most important features of a bathtub? - 10/22/09 09:27 AM
The drain.
Yes, without a drain a bathtub would be a quite painful apparatus----and probably wouldn’t get used very much----or the water would just sit there until it turned green and foul. It was probably part of why our ancestors bathed once a year whether they needed it … (23 comments)
The current economic climate on Planet Earth has led most of us to have all sorts of opinions as to what should be different and yet there is really very little consensus----and enough malarkey to go around … (22 comments)
seattle home inspector: Let me see-----I used to know who I was----Before ActiveRain and Now - 10/16/09 09:42 AM
A very nice Mountain in Hawaii asked the question, “What was life like before activerain?"
While this may sound like a straightforward enough question, the problem is----that I can not remember! Come on now, get a grip---was there really life before activerain? How can that be?
Those … (22 comments)
seattle home inspector: Close enough for a cigar----or to at least it could have smoked like one! - 10/15/09 09:51 AM
Sorry if I have offended any cigar smokers out there, but by the time the smoke clears maybe you will forgive me----then again maybe not.
Inspectors are always harping about how hot heat lamps and electric heaters can get. The following pictures were from an inspection of a … (31 comments)
seattle home inspector: There is something dead in my shower! - 10/10/09 10:10 PM
On a recent inspection I found this little fellow in the Master Bathroom shower. In case you don’t recognize him, it is a bottle fly----or blow fly. When you find these critters around you can anticipate that there is something dead around.
It was no surprise later … (30 comments)
