As we all know, art is 95% inspiration and 5% perspiration, but in the case of ‘Bubba’ our unhandy handyman, it’s probably the other way around… While inspecting a rehab on the east side Nashville, TN, I was mused by this resemblance to an old screen saver. I guess that since

I love inspecting rehabs… I love inspecting rehabs… I love inspecting rehabs… At least that is what I keep telling myself. There are some properties that are about as much fun to inspect as a sharp stick in the eye. Today I had a real doozie. I will not bother reprinting

Where Will Gas Prices Stop? - 06/09/08 08:17 PM
The price of a gallon of gasoline has now topped $4 per gallon nationally and it looks as if there is no relief in sight for weary motorists. As the price of crude on the open exchange continues to escalate, so does the price at the pump. These high prices are

Yes! Every home has a bomb tucked away somewhere. It may be in your garage, attic, basement or under your stairwell. As innocent as it may seem, the bomb is your water heater. Should the heating elements within this pressure vessel fail to turn off for one reason or another, there

Does Your Home Inspector Look for Safety Recalls? - 06/01/08 01:43 PM
At least once a week, I run across an appliance that is on a recall list from some major appliance manufacturer. This week, I ran across 2 GE dishwashers that are on the Consumer Product Safety Commissions (CPSC) list of recalled appliances. With about 2.5 million of these manufactured, there are
