Vermont First Time Home Buyers Checklist for Corner Board, if you are having a home build or will be doing sure remodeling of a fixer up you might be looking at to buy, then you'll want to know these tips.   1. Install felt paper or house wrap at all corners. 2. Double-wrap corners by applying vertical felt or house wrap splines under the corner boards. 3.

Vermont Home Owners its mighty Important to have your Chimney Cleaned, plus you should always have your chimney inspected after it has been cleaned.   When cleaning is complete, be sure to have the chimney system inspected for safety. Most prefabricated chimneys are approved for a two-inch clearance from combustibles. Check the manufacturer's recommendation and respect them. Two inches may seem overly cautious, but remember design is aimed at the worst possible situation-a raging chimney fire. See that all the joints are snug and properly engaged.

Call the fire department. You may not need them, It's better to be safe than sorry; by the time it becomes apparent that you do need them, it will be too late. 2.)

  31 days of December Challenge-Day Twenty Three and Christmas is less than Tow Days Away, the first recipients of the news that Jesus was born were the lowly shepherds tending their flocks at night. They were not far from the manger where the Christ-child was born. An angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds, and as the Glory of God shone around them, they were afraid.   "But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." ~Luke 2:9-12 After the angels left the shepherds, they hurried off to the manger to find the baby Jesus lying in a manger with Jose...

31 Days of December Challenge-Day Twenty Two and Weather Forecasters, being a weather forecaster would not be a bad job to have. Its the only job that I know of, that you can be wrong 99.9% of the time and still able to keep their job.   Our weather guy said we were going to have a sunny day all day today, well it sure did not happen. Instead we had a cloudy day along with some snow fall. Oh well, at least we will have a white Christmas. Today I hand delivered the Home Inspection report, of the Vermont home that I had been working on for the last two days, to the Attorney Office hired me to do the Inspection and to be an Expert Witness on their client's case.
