114 Comments on An Important Thing To Consider
You made me laugh with your numbers deal!
The REASON: About 5 years ago, my community had ALL the numbers on the houses CHANGED in order to make it EASIER of emergency vehicle to find the house. My old house number was 5.... my new house number is 38225! And this is easier because???????
And my next-door-neighbor went from number 4 to 38219.... the house is about 25 feet away from my house! Where are the houses numbered 38221 and 38223????
Who came up with this plan???
Michael - and today my first inspection had no numbers!
Donald - ha! I have those too. Life could be made easier...
Tina - so share this one with them!
Kathy - a bureaucrat! Need I say more?
Barbara-Jo - I dropped a radon off two days ago where there were no numbers and my first inspection yesterday had no numbers. Go figure...
Agreed, it is so important from a safety standpoint to have the address clearly visible from the street.
Me too Liane! That is a very interesting name - is it from a family member, or a creation of your parents?
A really good point Jay. A few years back, in our county, our street numbers were changed and we were encouraged to have them large enough and in an appropriate space. I just noticed my own numbers, whicg were clearly visible on the mail box post , are now partially hidden by the newspaper holder put in place by my carrier. Margaret C.
Shame on you Margaret! Actually, I'm glad to have brought this to your attention!
That is so true.. I came upon one recently with no address.. logically there was a house that fell into the right order so i photographed it.. then just to be on the safe side, photographed the one next door also... when I looked it up in tax records, they also both had the same owner's name... ok.. which one was right? the one I didn't think was and the one out of sequence!! good grief!! i found out from the bank sending me an old appraisal that had the tms number on it..
These are important points Jay. Several years ago, Boy Scouts came through our neighborhood looking for visible house numbers. The could earn a merit badge for it.
Sheila - wow! The same guy? So, which which was which?
Tigard - Thanks! By the way, the Scouts do many things for service projects. I have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts for 47 years.
I come across this problem often, and it can be difficult to guess at an address in streets where the numbers apparently don't seem to follow a discernable pattern.
Sure Chris, it happens to all of us. And it can be frustrating!
I've found myself on the wrong roof a couple times because of a missing address.
Excellent Vince! That's a great time to find out! Where you been?
Plenty of material to blog about once I'm done remodeling this house of mine. :)
No time to start like now! How about some step by step blogs, like I did with my living/dining room floor?
It's been years ago, but I still remember when a listing agent told my client's termite inspector that the back door would be unlocked and the seller wouldn't be home. I don't remember why the inspector went to the wrong house, but the back door was unlocked and he went in.
I had the very dubious pleasure of telling a homeowner that he got a free termite inspection and had termites - and that a nice young couple would soon be their next-door neighbor.

Mary - that is a funny story! It pays to have a clear address for lots of reasons!
