Home Inspections

[fenderpfunk]

Unrelated but I once paid a home inspector to do a "Rodon" test. Thankfully so as he found former white Sox relief pitcher Carlos Rodon watching videos on his phone in the crawlspace.

just move out to the boonies.. like arlington and get you a few shipping containers... ud be winning

yeah self...

this was built in 2 months..



not my fav ive seen but for 2 months...not bad... i drew up a couple of designs for a friend who ended up building a cabin cause of the wifes need for system beliefs.....

these days id be more minimal in my design.. 2 containers on the outside, butterfly roof sitting over a fairly good sized open plan area... possibly a diced up third container on the backside........that would be fairly cheap if you were handy..... if in illinois though, id spend more.. i might build the home under a double or triple greenhouse..

I just had radiation safety training last week (to use our portable XRF equipment) and we talked about Radon. Apparently, most of the rest of the world uses 20ug as the safety threshold. The EPA uses 4ug. So even if you are over that level of 4, you are generally safe. Also, that level assumes that you are living in that space for significant periods of time. So generally you wouldn't live in an unfinished basement long enough for it to be a problem.
Radon is a huge problem in Denver because we have a lot of roll-front Uranium deposits.

I had the sellers put in a mitigation system in 2009. They installed the pipe below the level that the sump pump would kick on, so if we have a high precip day, you can hear the ventilation system chugging on water. It's right under the master bedroom. It sucks. So I unplug it most of the time.
