This tree is about 100 years old and is being supported by the garage. As you can see, the tree did some damage to the roof, block & trim. This tree will be costly to remove. The main utility pole is next in the tree’s path.

I had done a commercial job here in Denver for a lender and, during my inspection, I found the best hot water heater in town; it was still in operation when I inspected it.

The top of the cabinet is missing from this new HVAC system in a recently renovated Cape Cod-style Atlanta home. It explained why heat wasn’t coming out of the ducts when I checked! It will be a nice house when they finish it.

That register used to be a pathway for passive heat from the boiler to be transported to the living space above. Now, it’s a way to transport the back-drafting water heater’s fumes.

I was on the roof of the house next to this one during an inspection and had to take a picture of this. It is of
a skylight with a tire, bungee cord and tin over it to
prevent water from coming in.
