This morning at church we went over this and it has been on my mind all day do I thought I would share it with all of you. Everything I Really Need to KnowI Learned From Noah's Ark
Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something Really big. Don't listen to critics. Do what has to be done. Build on the high ground. For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Two heads are better than one. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on … (8 comments)

Lifes Bank Account - 01/21/11 09:08 AM
I don't typically post these but this is something we should all remember. A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual … (9 comments)

Cause & Effect, Home Improvments may cause damage - 01/19/11 12:29 PM
I recently went to a home and garden show and was surprised at how many products were being sold as a cure all. Claims of reducing energy costs, never paint again and more were heard over and over. I asked a few of the people at the show about the drawbacks of their products and they all said the same thing, “There are none”.
Well I have news for you, buildings are more than a bunch of different components thrown together and everything you do has an effect on something else. If you are running the clothes dryer while the air … (1 comments)

Many of my home inspection customers ask about the need to flush out their water heater due to the hard water we have here in the Phoenix area.

The scaling may be worsened because water heater thermostat is too high. If the particles are calcium carbonate, you probably need to flush your water heater. Many manufacturers recommend periodic flushing of water heaters to remove sediment that can build up. The sediment can cause discoloration of the water and can … (4 comments)

Lowering the Home Inspection Bar - 01/05/11 12:21 PM
I have been in the home inspection business for over 10 years and what I am seeing in the real estate community is simply shocking.
10 years ago, I competent real estate agent would not refer a home inspector unless they were a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) or NAHI (The National Association of Home Inspectors)
The reasoning behind this was both ASHI & NAHI required their inspectors to take a difficult exam, perform over 250 inspections, and adhere to a code of ethics before they were allowed to use the logo and tell people they were … (5 comments)

Why have a new home inspection - 01/03/11 11:12 PM
Why inspect New/newer construction? I’m frequently and told by others that the home is new so I don’t need to have an inspection or “The city already inspected it, so I don’t need another inspection.
Here are some facts you may not know. Municipal inspections happen at different stages, before the foundation is placed, framing and plumbing as well as electrical are frequently done at the same time but it is not uncommon for the builder to make changes after these inspections. Then the inspector returns and sees the work completed if it hasn’t already been covered by drywall. Many times … (3 comments)
