The Inspector’s Attic

This page contains some information that may be of interest to you. Items here include:

  • Technical information or bulletins
  • Specific system data, such as plumbing or heating devices which have been found to be particularly deficient in the past
  • Important component or building material information
  • All in a day’s work photos or stories [the lighter side]
