  Mike doesn't F around, he tells you what you NEED to hear, not what you want to hear. Then he turns around and fixes the major problems he finds. Solid.

  I love the comment about lipstick work being beautiful. My father born 1912 with a contractor. And he used to say  all the time... you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

  Smart choice on the new insulation. Rockwool is water proof, fire proof, mice and bugs hate it and it does provide a bit of sound proofing. I'm renovating a 1972 mobile home and turning it into a log cabin. After doing my homework that's what I chose.

  1999 - 2000, I worked on the Vancouver Central Boiler, that feeds Gas Town and others. I spent a week on one boiler removing asbestos. Brown bricks. I seen TV India blue asbestos, workers in India do not have any type of masks. One fibre in the lungs. British Columbia Asbestos Law, all towels after shower, for lunch no breaks, and shower end of day. All towels are inspected. One fibre on towel, shuts the site down for full inspection.

  So, the inspector noted the possibility of asbestos on the inspection. Did these people not read the report? And if they did read it, why didn't they ask about it? For a homeowner that seems very aware of the of the danger of asbestos, it seems a little weird that a note about the "possibility of asbestos" would be ignored. I'm all for complete and competent home inspections but at some point the homeowner has to take some responsibility and at least ask a few questions.

  Jackhammering old concrete under a wooden deck in the rain... that had to hurt.

  As a broker myself I have encountered the potential for asbestos on hydronic heating lines and have notified the client - I&apos;m not a home inspector either.

  Watching you guys moving items just kills me! As a mover with over 30 years of experience, I implore you to please get some moving straps and dollies to make it easier!
