wwwdivisioninspectcom: Wet Basements or Crawl Space? - 04/17/07 12:23 PM
With all the rain and wet weather I thought this article, "Keep Your Basement Dry", would be of interest to people in the northeast.

I had to See it to Believe it!!
About 10 months ago, I decided to put candy jars in all the Realtor offices that have my brochure stand on their counter. My wife bought jars, jars that were easily recognizable by me and not too common. She found a store that had 23 and she bought all of them. I placed 13 jars in 13 different offices. I would go back periodically with full jars and replace the previous ones.After a while, I noticed in three particular offices, the jars were missing. I would replace them and again, gone. The jar cap was … (7 comments)
