If your building has Stucco or EIFS exterior siding and it was not installed properly, there is risk of water intrusion and subsequent damage. Damage behind coverings cannot be determined during a visual inspection. Since Building and Home Inspections are strictly visual and non-destructive, a determination of what is behind the siding cannot be made and as such is excluded from the scope of a Standard Home Inspection. Please reference the ASHI Standards of Practices and the Pre-Inspection Agreement for further details in this regard.

Just like when you go to a Doctor for a Physical Examination, the Doctor may recommend that you have additional tests performed to determine your health, etc. Building and Home Inspectors may also recommend to you additional tests such as a Stucco Inspection performed by physically “probing” through the siding of the building to explore what may be going on behind the surface. There is more work required for this type of investigative Inspection. Since the stucco inspector will be drilling holes through the exterior siding (of course he will need to seal the holes shut afterwards with caulk) permission must be obtained from the owner of the building to permit such work.

Of course, you wouldn’t expect someone just to come to your door and start drilling selective holes into your house, would you? The stucco inspector will need to get access to selected areas of the house where the inspector, based on his experience and knowledge and education and may need to use ladders to be able to appropriately “probe” for evidence of damage and/or moisture behind using specialized equipment for this purpose. These locations will then be described in a report which will be issued after the “testing” as you can read from these Articles.

Because there is additional work involved, beyond what can be accomplished by a Standard Home Inspection, of course, there will be an additional fee for this work.

Women tend to buy dresses which they see others wearing. This is because they assume that the same dress will look as good on them. However, while shopping for dresses, there is one essential point to consider. Different women have different body shapes and these shapes determine what kind of clothes will look good on you.

If you know what your body shape is but are confused as to what dress to buy, here are some important tips for you.

Apple Shaped Body: Women with an apple shaped body usually have accumulated weight around their belly and possess large bust and shoulders. Therefore, for these women, it is important to flaunt their long shapely legs and create a balance among their large shoulders and slender legs. This can be done by wearing short skirts with slimming tunics, V-neck tops with mid –rise boot cut jeans and A-line solid color dresses. Also, for these women, layering gives a great effect. This can be done by wearing light cotton tank top under long sleeves jacket or a button down top.

Pear Shaped Body: Pear shaped or A shaped bodied people have narrow shoulders and torso with more weight around hips and thighs. For these women, it is suggested to wear plain skirts which fall just below the knee paired with patterned tops, wrap dresses having simple and plain prints or boot cut jeans paired with scoop neck tops.

Straight Body: Women with a straight body shape have an athletic figure with less defined curves. In order to flaunt curves these women should wear skirts with belted jackets, polo shirts coupled with boot cut jeans or fitted dresses with nipped waist.

Hourglass Shaped Body: Women with hourglass shaped body have a defined waist with more weight around the bust and hip. These women have a wide variety of options to choose from. They may look absolutely stunning in nipped waist jackets, halter tops, skirts with V-neck tops and flared jeans.

When going out or online from a wholesale boutique on your next shopping spree, remember to purchase clothes according to your body shape. It is very important to dress for your body shape and flaunt those curves.

Although we’re encouraged to do a lot of DIY, the big exception is electrical work. If you’ve got a job that involves more than changing a fuse or replacing a light bulb, you’ll almost certainly need a licensed electrician to get it done properly.

Licensed electricians know exactly what they are doing and are very good at it. It’s simply not worth the fire danger or electrocution risks to not have a professional do the job as explained on A Nation of Moms blog.
