Resolved Question: what kind of contractor do I need to call?
I had my current home inspected and buyer wants me to fix those. I have no clue who I need to call. I am not even sure if those need to be fixed. Inspection report says get it checked by contractor and repair if needed. If someone can guide me, i’d appreciate. If i can, I want one contractor to do all.

These are list.

1.) Please have a qualified licensed plumber inspect and repair hot water heater
combustion air vent that is blocked in the attic as this is a potential fire hazard. In
addition the TP&R valve line was kinked during time of inspection. As described on page 5
of 6 of inspection summary.
2.) Please have a qualified professional repair the gas valve at fireplace that was inoperable
(too tight to turn). As described on page 2 of 6 of inspection summary.
3.) Please have a qualified licensed electrician repair missing knock outs at panel in garage
as this is causing wires to rub and is a potential fire hazard. As described on page 3 of 6
of the inspection summary.
4.) Please have a qualified professional contractor evaluate and repair a bowed strut for the
top ridge beam located in the attic. As described on page 1 of 6 on the inspection
summary.
5.) Please have a qualified professional repair the furnace flue pipe that is not adequately
supported in the attic. As described on page 4 of 6 of the inspection summary.
6.) Please have a qualified licensed plumber ensure that hall bathroom is no longer leaking
as signs of past leaks have occurred. As described on page 5 of 6 of the inspection
summary.

Resolved Question: How warped is it to spread sinister messages through something as innocuous & innocent as a women’s magazine?
London, Apr 15 (ANI): A collection of Nazi women’s magazines featuring knitting patterns, fashion advice, and at the same time blaming the British for WWII are set to be auctioned.

The Frauen Warte, literally translated as Women Wait, had been designed for German housewives.

However, on closer inspection, they were discovered to contain a more sinister purpose.

The magazines featured a number of celebrities, including leading Nazi Hermann Goering, and had stories on home economics and fashion news mixed with those about Britain’s culpability in the devastating conflict.

The Frauen Warte, which ran from 1935 to 1945 and was the Nazi Party’s biweekly-illustrated magazine for women, had a circulation of nearly two million at its peak.

Now, a total of 65 editions will go under the hammer on April 23 at Ludlow Racecourse in Shropshire as part of an auction held by Mullocks Auctioneers.

It was compiled by an English collector from sales in Germany, and will be auctioned together with Boys Own-style magazines aimed at schoolboys extolling the virtues of shooting down English aircraft and blowing up English ships.

“As you turn through these pages you get an incredibly creepy feeling about these magazines as you realise they are not what they appear to be,” the Telegraph quoted the firm’s historical documents expert Richard Westwood-Brookes as saying.

“It shows the Nazi machine was so well-oiled it infiltrated every single area of human society.

“It’s a frighteningly cunning way to get everyone thinking along the same lines, women would get together to talk about things and this would be how these messages spread,” he added.

The women’s magazines have a guide price of between 500 pounds and 700 pounds. (ANI)

Resolved Question: I’m 21 but I REALLY like a 50 year old man!?
I am a building inspector for new construction and all kinds of other things.
A woman called and set up an inspection. Usually I go out, do my inspection and then I’m done. I hardly ever see the contractors.
Well, this day was different. I was coming down off the roof of a rather large home. (Kinda Scary) But not anything that I am not used to. Well, I usually remember my entire report. But when I got off the ladder and turned around the contractor was standing there waiting…

I looked at him and completely forgot what I had just seen at the top of this monster of a house. And I REALLY didn’t feel like climbing a shaky ladder to re-do my inspection.

I just stood there, looking into this handsome mans eyes. Just something about his eyes looked innocent and caring. Even maybe interesting…
I introduced myself and told him quickly that I’d fax him the report. I just wanted to get out of there before I thought too much about the situation… (I’m married but we are split right now not major problems. We are just coming to an agreement in our lives. We still are teriffic friends we are just trying to find out if we make teriffic mates.)
I got back to my office and was sitting at my desk and one of the secretarys buzzed in and said that my husband was on the line.
I picked up the phone and said “Hey baby, how are you” Well it WASNT my husband…
It was him… The contractor.
He replied in a joking manner “Well hey Baby to you too!”
then asked about his report.
I had drawn up a report and given it to an assistant to fax it. I told him that I did not have time to go over it with him right now, but I’d call him at my earliest convience.
He agreed and then came up to my office as I was leaving for lunch.
He started talking and I told him to meet me at the resturant and I’d treat him to a client lunch to discuss his work.

we got there, he got out of his car first and opened my car door for me, then opened the resturant door and placed his hand in a respectful way at the small of my back to guide me inside where there were ALOT of people.

At first I was kind of like . . WTF but then I realized that I kinda liked it…
We talked at lunch about the house and future contracts.
STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL with some life talk..
He walked me to my car and I left. But the whole time I was thinking about how handsome and sweet and what a skilled (contractor) he was.

He knows I’m married and he knows the situation.

We kinda started flirting innocently. And ended up going out on a sort of mini-date.
There I found out his age… He’s 49, almost 50…
Not a bad thing. He’s a very hott looking 50 year old. Aged very well.
And it turns out that he’s kind of rich… But I’m more than able to take care of myself as well… And I PAY FOR DINNER. I’ve got no interest in his money…
The reason I brought it up was that rich people usually tend to have certian personality traits that can be somewhat… BAD…

But he’s NOT AT ALL like that… His workers are treated VERY WELL. He drove an hour away just to pick up one employee whos personal truck broke down and he went out that day and got him a newer truck. Just to be nice.
He’s a great boss, contractor, friend and opps… Husband…
His wife who I had talked to on previous jobs on the phone not knowing it was the same company because he has several companies.
But when I called and failed one job for minor VERY minor deficiencies, with me on the phone she started tearing him down. Calling him a worthless nothing who cant get anything right.
Several times since this I’ve talked to her… She doesnt know about my feelings toward him, but she’ll tell me how horrible he is. That he wouldnt buy her a new car last year… (She drives an 07 mercedes) She said that he calls her too much and sometimes wants him to leave her alone. And she told me that I should fail everything he has because he is a bad contractor…   read more…
