Hey Commonsense...did you know that it is possible to list all of your posts then click on each to actually view it?  And, when it is open for you to view you can click the button to delete it?  That will delete any post you have made unless they have a response from someone else.  Take a bit of time to do that and you leave them ...

Different kinds of snakes and different areas of the country will lead to different ways to minimize your exposure.  How about a tad bit of additional information like how old is your home and where do you live?  Are you near natural habitats like water or woods or an area that was a habitat until man decided to take it over? Since this ...

ah ha!  After leaving the last note, I found a link on the national association's chat board that you will find useful. Florida's legislature seems to have passed a law this year to require a license for both home inspectors and mold inspectors. You will want to click this link to open the PDF file and then save a copy on ...

Walk gently. First, go to the web site that the inspection company has and make copies of the pages that you put your trust in. Then, look at the web site for the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors ( http://www.nachi.org/ ) .   At first glance, it looks like it could be either a valid association of good ...

chili:Thanks for your replies.  I live in Florida. One site in Florida, Certified Building Inspectors, pretty well sums it up for you:Did you know that currently the State of Florida has no licensing or certification requirements for  Home Inspectors? This may change in the future.  However, right now, anyone can obtain a Florida ...

Actually, many states don't even license the inspectors - so if you don't get one that belongs to a professional organization that sets standards for performance, you pay your quarter and you take your chance. Your first call should be to the realtor who helped you buy the house.  Find out from that person where you stand with ...

Earlier I mentioned Lowes...Lowes carries lots of Olympic products.  I've used them with good luck. Don't completely discount having something mixed at the store.  If the store is good and if their equipment is good, you should never know it.  After all, most things in a can were mixed at one time or another. Lowes is ...

bestmagnet:Now, if anyone can tell me what  they think is a great stain I am on my way and will be filing a report when the project is ended. "Great stain"  Nope.I usually get my paint or stain at:  Lowes or Porter Paints.  I know, you probably wanted a brand.  My experience has been that a paint or stain will ...

When the answers begin to conflict too much, I usually figure out who stands to make money based on his/her answer. I have had smaller questions about red cedar and found magic at http://www.wrcla.org/ . There are many of the standard answers in their various sections.  And, they have a contact us/ask us button that has real ...

There are a few other approaches that I prefer to not put here... It would likely violate the spirit of what this site exists for. In the 60's there was a book, The Anarchist Cookbook, that was popular with a variety of - - umm, characters. I have a copy.  In fact, it is my third copy.  And, I think it is even on the internet ...
