LIVE Termites...Check this video out.

Almost everytime we notice termite damage people ask if there was live termites. We typically only find live termites about 1 out of 50 times, when we discover termite damage. Today I found some very active live termites. You can see the damage caused.

Hood River Home Inspector Ruins Dinner......Almost

Ok some sometimes we all do something then go "oh shoot!!" This past Sunday when I was inspecting a home, I came to the oven. I first tested the burners then when to test the oven. For some reason the oven was set to 350 degrees, but wasn't on. I thought to myself, what is going on here?? I proceeded to push buttons in an attempt to get the oven to turn on. Then I opened the door to find a roast inside the oven. The owners of the home had left the oven on "delayed start", they had planned dinner for the evening and I had just messed things up for them. In the process I didn't take note of the time they had selected to start the oven. Now I felt terrible, it was Sunday and I just ruined their dinner plans. So I called the listing agent in an attempt to get the home owners cell phone number. Guess what... they didn't have a cell phone. I didn't want to leave the home with the oven "ON", and I didn't NOT want them to have Sunday dinner. So at 4PM I turned the oven on and set it at 350 degrees. Then I waited....my plan was to wait until the home owners got home and make sure I didn't ruin dinner. Luckily around 5:30 the owners pulled into the driveway...Oh that was a good feeling. I greeted them as they walked up the front steps, and proceeded to tell them the story. They just laughed and thanked me for being so concerned. Long story short, if you see something odd...take a look at the situation to make sure you are making a good decision by moving forward. Or, know what your plan "B" is going to be if things don't work out.

Mercury Alert!!!!

Last week I installed a new thermostat in my house. You know, the programmable ones that help save you money on your energy bill. So anyway as I removed the original one, I seen there were two glass bulbs 1/2 full of mercury. I know we have all hear how dangerous Mercury can be.

So how to you properly dispose of these things... The first think I done was put the old thermostat in a ziploc plastic bag, then put it in a safe place. I didn't want the kids to damage it. To dispose of this you can take it to the next Local Hazardous Material collection at The Dalles Disposal. I will keep my ear open and post when the next day is scheduled.

Be safe, you never know when you may come across a hidden danger in your home. Protect yourselves, your family and your pets by properly disposing of hazardous items.
