How much time do you think I have?

Pulling the car exhaust through the attic or allowing the fire to spread from the garage across the attic pace?

Then it belongs in a window.

I'm in north Texas, Dallas, that's not an ice shield, that's underlayment as stated. The roof covering manufacture and the IRC think that the underlayment goes over drip edge and under rake edge flashing, like it was; underlayment goes over the drip edge flashing in any part of the country. And the drip edge flashing was supposed to cascade over the back of the rain gutter. All day long, 24/7 365.

​@@GoodHomeInspectionWhat about leap years?

Like you said your in Texas so you can do it like that. No snow there. Those of us in snow regions have to do it differently.

I'm still going to note it as deficient. It's an unconventional turbo chimney 🤠

Docu-Pole 30’. I don’t use the last extension much but having it keeps the camera head more stable than if I were using a shorter pole. I typically use a Panasonic DMC-TS26 Lumix @ Medium resolution to help with stability. Watch out for power lines! I know of one home inspector who got tangled up in one and now all hi’s family has is a GoFund account because he died. So be careful.

@@GoodHomeInspection that's the pole I'm looking at. The carbon fiber ones are $1k but carry all of the benefits of.

@@Tiersmoke92555 Mine is highly conductive (and dangerous) aluminum. I would imagine the carbon fiber to be stronger, lighter, and safer. And using a pole does require a measure of upper body strength. I'm not sure carbon fiber was an option when I bought my pole but when it comes tome for replacement I'll get one of those.

@@GoodHomeInspection have you ever consider wrapping the main tube (handle) with tape or an type of nonconductive wrap? Even wearing Mechanic brand "electrical" gloves could help. I hope other folks are following this thread.

@@Tiersmoke92555 Gloves would help. Tape would integer with the telescoping mechanisms.

Not uncommon. This client forewent a Wood Destroying Inspect Inspection.

That's not De De, although she look similar (a younger version with different shades of coloring, narrower head etc.). That's out neighbor's cat, Bones. She's named Bones because that's all she was when they rescued her from a puddle of mud when she was a only weeks old.

The manufacture sets "bracket" (my term) of largest and smallest, however, for better or worse the manufacture recommends using the largest. I've assumed that it must have something to do with the larger starting load amps.

I see a lot of tape too and you're correct, they are all wrong. A gas appliance flue should be mechanically connected.

I didn't attach anything. I'm a home inspector.The exposure is dark and my camerawork is shaky. I suspect that the connections were welded and/or some combination of welded and bolted. This carport most likely was constructed by a company specializing in these types of projects.

Nope, I think they'e some big ass ground wasps.

Thank you for following me. These videos are supplemental to my client’s inspection report, so certain information is best parceled and served in specific sections of the report. These videos are for my clients and it’s best not to bundle too much information into a long video. Should my client want a specific issue address during negotiations, a short video will help get my client’s concerns across. I exhaust ≈ 3 batteries a day, it takes me ≈ 3 hours to download and upload these videos every night, after a 7 hour day, and then I repeat the whole process the following day. That doesn’t include processing ≈ 70 still images, researching my findings and writing the ≥ 40 page report. These videos represent only part of a 16 hour workday for me. There are other home inspectors out there filming themselves performing complete home inspections. Some of them are pretty slick. I might try that one day, but for now the best I can do is apologize for blowing up your feed.

@@GoodHomeInspection I see. No worries at all. I will probably continue to follow along. :)

Yes, it was a flip. And yes, there was an exposed beam at or near the center of the door. The opera off to the side shouldn't be an issue because it's a metal panel door which doesn't weigh much.

I'm a pro, your gutters are fine.

Yeah, I'm covering a lot of stuff in a small amount of time, the only mic is the one in my camera. It's also covered in the report writing including additional still images, tables, and links to reference illustrations. But you're right, I move kinda fast for an old man. Thanks for viewing, some of the videos are better than others and mistakes are not uncommon.

@@GoodHomeInspection OK Bud sounds good - keep up the great work

Replaced for sure, maybe with tankless.

If the GFCI button doesn't activate (trip) with the test button then the device is defective. However, the auxiliary device is operable and it was likely less expensive to add it than to replace the breaker. A foolish move because they're still relying on a defective breaker for current. - - And this pool wasn't contracted for inspection, my clients contracted another company for that service.

The building codes and the manufacture’s insulation instructions seem to be in conflict with your opinion. When you put your hand on the water lines and the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve, the heat you feel is heat that has been paid for and is now escaping unused. That temperature is very different than the interior ambient temperature. This is also heat that will be compensated for during the interior cooling cycle. Insulation isn’t expensive and has been proven time and time again to have a quick return on investment. If the effect was negligible the codes and installation instructions would have been written differently. I insulate my water heater piping and I recommend that my client’s do the same. It cost very little to do it right. This applies to water heater tanks, which is the subject of this video. This does not apply to tankless water heaters which different codes and instructions address.

Glad it was helpful!

Maybe. Doesn't look like it though. Too clean and tight. But maybe.

Was very well documented in the report. It's true, air handers can have electric strip heat. Got an A for today.

I'm sorry, this unit also has blower motor and plenum, and it has an evaporator coil (all of which can be operated without the furnace). Even though there is a furnace present and it's important, that's not the whole story. A lot of people say "furnace" but the furnace is part of the indoor air handler system. You write "furnace" on a lot of my post so this must be of some aggravation to you. These videos are primarily for my clients and I don't have many followers so I don't know what your motivation is. Can I ask what your instructor has to say about this? How far along are you in the licensing process?

It sure is, the gas furnace is part of the indoor air handler. The indoor air handler is part of the HVAC system.
