Okay, I have to admit, this is not a blog about the supermarket or department store. But it is about something I find quite often in attics. It has to do with older "canned" recessed lighting. Look at the picture below: The picture is of the older canned lighting in the attic. If you loo

Of course as home inspectors we are very concerned about safety. Some safety items are more serious than others and some can be expensive or cheap to repair. Main electrical panels are always a concern for safety. With all the power for the entire house running through the electrical panel, it'

Don't get me wrong, I do like football, I'm even getting ready for the draft in my fantasy football league, but I regret to inform you that this home inspection blog is not about football. Today we will talk about jetted bathtubs... well, sort of. We will use jetted bathtubs as an example of the
