camano island home inspector: Bubble Skylights...Just as good as having a hole in your roof. - 03/16/10 11:10 AM
I don't know what compelled manufactured home builders to install these "water intrusion devices", .....but unfortunately they did. In fact., if I am going to find a leaking skylight it is often this design.
The problem is they run a bead of sealant around the back, and slap it into place. Sealants provide a few years of life (maybe) and then the water finds its' way in.

camano island home inspector: Do You Know Where Your Dryer Exhaust Is? (Home Inspections Everett, WA) - 03/17/09 10:30 AM

In my business I see alot of dryer ducts. Some good, and some not so good. Due to the way homes are constructed these ducts sometimes are neglected because they are hard to get to. In out of the way places like your attic or in the crawl space under the home.
