home inspector atlanta: Accidental Indeed! - 11/02/11 10:23 AM
Accidental inventions can change our lives! For instance, if Ruth, a Toll House Inn owner had not decided to break bits of sweetened chocolate and mix them into her cookie dough when her supply of bakers chocolate ran out, then the chocolate chip cookie would not have been invented. She thought the chipped chocolate would melt, making Chocolate Cookies… which was one of her most popular baked goods at the Toll House Inn. Arguably, this was a pleasant accidental invention.
Sometimes, great scientific minds are so focused on a specific study, that they almost miss an important break through. Consider John … (8 comments)

home inspector atlanta: The Atlanta Home Inspector Finds Hidden Treasure. - 08/09/11 12:20 PM
It’s hard to believe that summer vacation has ended. The big yellow school buses have been opening and closing their doors to students now for an entire week in our community. Homework has quickly replaced playing in the yard. Bedtime has become something that happens too soon after dinner. Weekends have become filled with all of the tasks and activities that cannot be accomplished during the week. As much as they say they aren’t ready, it becomes apparent the children are eager to be back amongst their friends.
For IHI Home Inspections, it has been business as usual.

home inspector atlanta: The Importance of Flushing With the Atlanta Home Inspector - 07/08/11 10:55 AM
All of us with children ( especially little boys, it seems) can relate to the
importance of flushing. It would seem that it is a daily reminder in my
home. We teach our children to flush the toilet for obvious reasons, but
why does the home inspector flush your toilet?
First lets analyze what happens when you flush your toilet.
Most residential toilets contain water in both tank and bowl. When
you flush, a rubber stopper (flapper) lifts, letting the tank water flow
into the bowl. Then, water enters the bowl through small holes around
the inner bowl top and … (4 comments)

home inspector atlanta: Federal Pacific Electrical Panels - Information that could save your life. - 07/07/11 02:46 PM
Was your home built sometime between 1950 and 1980? Do you have a Federal Pacific Electric Company panel? Chances are likely that you do, since Federal Pacific was the leading manufacturerer during that time span., installing over a million panels. However, there is much scutiny where the Federal Pacific panels are concerned. Although, they have never been recalled, the specific "Stab-Lok" line has proven to be a latent hazard, leading to electrical failure, arcing and fire. Even though the Government has pulled their UL rating, some experts now say that Federal Pacific Electric Comapny panels can appear to work fine for … (16 comments)

home inspector atlanta: How Hot is the Atlanta Home Inspector? - 06/17/11 02:10 PM
I bet the title made you curious, didn't it? Come on, admit it! In all seriousness, though, the heat has been hot and hotter in the North Metro Atlanta area. Even though the degrees are rising, we still climb onto 99% of all roofs to conduct our inspections, even if that means enduring temperatures over 150 degrees. If you don't believe us, we have the proof right here! And this second picture... well that's an egg. (In case you were wondering if was hot enough to fry one or not)
Ok, the egg really didn't fry on the roof and no … (1 comments)

http://www. ihihomeinpsections.com, David Lelak,
It has been mentioned here on the Rain that talking is an artform in which some of us have an unlimited supply of artistic ability. Therefore, when our good friends from Keller Williams Real Estate shared this link with us, we just had to pass it on to all of you.

home inspector atlanta: Why we crawl around underneath your home by the Atlanta Home Inspector - 06/06/11 01:54 PM
It doesn't matter how well kept your home may be, there can still be issues underneath. Simply because most people do not enter this underground area, issues can go undetected. So it is a good idea to get someone who will crawl around underneath your home when performing an inspection.
One of the major aspects of the inspection includes the "span" system. If the beams and joists, which are the primary components that cross back and forth under your home and hold your floors and walls in place, are not spanning the proper distance or are not following specific scale or … (0 comments)

home inspector atlanta: No Catchy Title - Just another video I will let speak for itself - 06/02/11 01:33 PM
http://www.ihihomeinspections.com David Lelak, Atlanta Home Inspector.
I was thinking for far too long about what to say in this blog. Was even on the verge of a migraine while trying to incorporate the words tentacles and firey belly. (Ok the new Pirates of the Carribbean did come out recently you know ) I wanted to say something funny. I wanted to say something educational. I wanted to say something profound. However, it all just sort of becomes a jumbled mess of ideas and concepts that perhaps don't belong together in the first place. So I have decided to let the video speak for itself … (2 comments)

home inspector atlanta: Not quite sure what Edison would think of this light bulb moment! Another invention found by The Atlanta Home Inspector - 06/01/11 11:02 AM
http://www.ihihomeinspections.com One of Thomas Edison's famous quotes goes as follows: I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent....
We all know he was responsible for the lightbulb and other life changing inventions. However, I am not quite sure what he would think of this exposed lightbulb with loose wires. It serves it's purpose but the dangers of the electricity running this closely to the Home's support beams is not really a bright idea! Convenience should not replace common … (3 comments)

home inspector atlanta: Atlanta home inspections - make sure you know what your getting - 02/25/11 08:12 AM
As a home inspector in Atlanta sometimes we take some of the most insteresting pictures. Just like the home inspection picture to the right, it's all in the perception. Take a look at it and see what you think!
When choosing a home inspector in the Atlanta area, make sure that you're going to get a full and thorough home inspection.

Too many times when we get the call for home inspections the first question that we're asked is "How Much is a home inspection?" … (0 comments)

home inspector atlanta: Great review for the Atlanta home inspector - 02/15/11 09:51 PM
Found the folloing review over at Kudzu and thought I would share it with you. It says a lot especially since they have been living in the house and didn't notice these things.
My wife and I purchased our home from family and had been living in it for five years prior to purchasing it. Since I was very familiar with the house, I really saw the inspection as more of a formality. I have always been a technical person and enjoy performing the necessary repairs and maintaining my house myself, so I really did not expect David to find anything. … (1 comments)

As the Atlanta home inspector, I was looking around this morning for interesting resources and articles and I ran across the following article/location where you can download and listen to different information. I ran across the following webinar Prospecting for Today’s Market:What Really Works. Now granted the webinar is a little dated, it is still very valuable information.

The webinar featured one of our own Activerain Ambassador’s Anna "Banana" Kruchten. She talked about the benefits of blogging from not only getting amazing SEO juice and leads, but everything you blog can … (3 comments)

Not to long ago I used it to verify a very hot electrical wire. The agent that I was working with at the time was amazed at how hot the wiring was.
We also recently used it when a gentleman moved out of a place because he took the cover … (4 comments)
