Please help me to welcome Jimmy Zazueta as he joins Joseph Lang of Pillar To Post Professional Home Inspection.
Jimmy and myself grew up as cousins.  Though we're not blood … (1 comments)

corona home inspections: It's Been a While - 05/29/08 09:43 PM
I first want to apologize for the long break since my last blog.  Well, actually I haven't had much of a break at all.  I've been the busiest I've ever been and have little time left over after work and family.  So of course my time for blogs also gets limited.

corona home inspections: Rude and Uninformed Agent "Educating" a Home Inspector - 04/25/08 05:27 PM
The other day I was at a home inspection and arrived early.  I knocked on the door and asked the seller if I could start early.  He was very nice and said yes.  I always start on the roof, and that day was no different.  It was a concrete tile roof … (45 comments)

corona home inspections: Enter at Your Own Risk - 04/25/08 10:59 AM
The other day I inspected a house over 4,000 sq. ft. that had a crawlspace.   I finished the inspection and was explaining the report to the buyer.  Here are some of the items I found in the crawlspace.
This support member was notched (where it meets the wall).  Someone put in a concrete … (18 comments)

corona home inspections: Comparing Apples and Oranges - 04/21/08 06:01 PM
Have you ever heard that saying, "comparing apples and oranges?"  It means you can't compare two things that really aren't comparable, for whatever reason.  Well the same thing is true for homes.
Specifically this is true when talking about electrical wiring.  There is aluminum wiring and copper wiring.  The two are definitely … (9 comments)

corona home inspections: My Cousin Vinny's Home Inspection - 04/15/08 04:02 PM
I remember the line from the movie "My Cousin Vinny" where Vinny is examining a witness in court and states, "Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove."
Well it appears I encountered this during the weekend.
If you look right above the microwave, the bottom … (13 comments)

corona home inspections: Argghhh Matey, Walk the Plank! - 04/15/08 10:06 AM
It's quite common to see the furnace located in the attic in this area.  When the furnace is in the attic there should be a light in case someone needs to work on the unit and there should be a platform so you can get to the unit and have access … (13 comments)

corona home inspections: Another Notch in the Belt - 04/14/08 11:22 PM
Well let me say that another notch in the belt is just fine (except for when there are no notches left and you have to just buy a bigger belt).  But that's not what this post is about.  It appears that some people treat trusses just like they do a belt... just … (18 comments)

corona home inspections: A Dam on a Roof? - 04/14/08 10:48 PM
Most people realize that the purpose of a roof is to get water off of it.  You simply don't want water up there any longer than it has to be.  Seems like a simple concept, right?
Well, some in the roofing industry don't seem to get it.  Look at the picture below.

corona home inspections: My First Home Inspection in the Amazon - 04/14/08 12:59 PM
It sounds amazing, but I did a home inspection in the Amazon.  Heres' the picture to prove it.  I don't know why they needed electricity in the Amazon?
Okay, okay, you got me, I wasn't really in the Amazon, but it sure felt like it when I had to access the main … (16 comments)
