Open Question: Can I sue my home builder or County for violation of code?
I bought my house in a subdivision in 2007. It was built at the end of 2006. My house has been struck by lightning twice this year and has caused thousands of dollars in damages. I had an electrician come out to make sure my home was grounded. According to him the code states you must have 2 grounding poles per this size home. He said we only have 1 and it doesn’t even feel like a whole one it feels like a partial one. Since we’re not grounded adequately this type of damage will continue to happen. Can/Do I sue my home builder, the subdivision or the county/state (for allowing it to pass inspection without it being up to code)?? Also how do I obtain a copy of what the code was back then?? What type of lawyer would I hire??

Open Question: Public Pool Maintenance Question…?
Regarding the differences between pools built in 1961 and today… specifically talking commercial-level pools- In an Olympic size pool with 2 drains (2 ft x 6 ft each) about 10-15 ft apart, what is a normal draining capacity (like as in suction power), how complicated is the process to drain it (I don’t want to know the process- just the complication level- basically can anyone do it or do you have to know exactly what to do in what order) AND in the pool that I am specifically speaking of, there are several lights where the light cover, bulb and socket has been removed leaving the exposed concrete baking and probably other parts. Some of these have begun to slightly rust. The lifegaurd told me that he had never even seen the lights turned on.

Anyway- how “safe” would you say this is?? I brought this up to a facilities director who stated that it passes a monthly inspection but wouldn’t that just be pH level which, being a pool that clearly no expense was spared in 1961 it should auto-regulate that anyway. Its not the rust that concerns me- its the drains and fear of electrocution.

Other Info:

This pool is in a university- it was probably the best of the best when it was built. Facilities says that there is no money to keep it up. Its a shame. Anyway, as I said, built in 1961. Its indoor, if that matters.Heated and kept at a constant 94 degrees F–it feels amazing. 85 or so meters long, 12+ ft deep diving well. Other than the lights, this pool is in amazing condition and is beautiful. The entire pool and pool deck are hand-laid 1inch square tiles–this is a really big pool. It consistently has probably the cleanest water I have ever seen in a pool- so clearly some part of it is taken care of…. just other parts are a bit concerning…
