atlanta georgia home inspections: Mystery Monday question of the day - 05/16/11 01:55 PM
http://www.ihihomeinspections.com Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak, Contrary to some of the interesting Face Book posts we have received, this isn't marshmallow or asbestos. This is foam insulation that is found in the attics of some North Georgia homes. What are the pros and cons of insulating with Foam? We found some great answers at http://www.sprayfoam.com/spps/ahpg.cfm?spgid=66 . An interesting tip taken from this link is the following: By insulating the roof surface with spray foam, the surface temperature exposed to the attic (the temperature driving the heat transfer) is reduced by as much as 40F. Both conduction and convection heat transfer are proportional … (0 comments)

atlanta georgia home inspections: Atlanta Home Inspector uses Homegauge to provide his home inspection reports - 10/15/08 10:03 AM
We get asked all the time what kind of home inspection report do you provide? And I'm very happy to be able to say that we use the HomeGauge program. I use my phone/pda as I go through the home inspection process so that as I find items nothing is missed or forgotten. I don't have to remember details until I can get back to my lap top or my vehicle, I just take a picture, enter data in my phone and if I really want to make sure that I have the details correct the HomeGauge program has a built … (0 comments)

I know that as real estate agents, you get ask all the time by the homeowners the age old question of "How long is my (you fill in here) going to last? How long can I expect my dishwasher to last or what about the roof.

Refrigerators will last about thirteen years, and dryers will last about the same amount of time. The dishwashers and microwave … (7 comments)

atlanta georgia home inspections: At what point do you throw in the towel? - 03/01/08 01:32 PM
As an Atlanta Home Inspector, in this market I have been wondering at what point do you throw in the towel on a home with problems? Or better yet, are you even allowed to throw in the towel? There is some things that I just don't understand and one of those things is "Why more people don't get a pre-listing inspection done on a home before doing all that you do?" It seems to me and of course this is just my opinion, but it seems like people go about this a little backwards.
First as a Realtor, you spend your hard … (48 comments)

Some of you have figured out that I am morning job that consist of a whole lot of little ones (being a school bus driver is always an adventure). This morning was no exception. The power went out here just about the time all these little ones were due to get on the bus. The storm was blasting through and the winds were incredible.

atlanta georgia home inspections: You Might be an Active Rain Addict if...... - 02/23/08 08:32 PM
Just for a little fun, I'm wondering how many of us meet the following criteria?
1. You wake up after going to bed (way too late) and the first thing you do (even before the restroom) is check your blog on Active Rain.
2. You're on Active Rain reading blogs and comments and look at who's logged in and wonder why hardly anyone is logged in only to notice it is 2 am in the morning.
3. You're finally giving it up and while lying in bed, trying to go to sleep you're thinking about what you can blog about next.
4. A storm … (38 comments)

You never know how quickly some one can be gone out of your life. I got a harsh reminder of that this past Saturday and I'm still just Thanking God for HIS hand of intervention, There is no other way to subscribe it. So many times you think I'll tell them tomorrow or oh, I'll call them later. What if later never comes?
