A home inspector that's a worm farmer? What's a worm casting? Simply put, it's worm do-do. Yes, I'm a home inspector serving Montrose, Great Bend, Scranton, and more areas in PA, but we raise red worms to help put our garden. It's a very easy thing to do and costs only a few dollars to begin. We started a couple years ago when a friend of mine gave me about 500 red worms. We fed the worms a daily diet of coffee grounds, old veggies and fruits and apple cores. After only two years our worm population grew to an incredible 25,000 (and that's estimating LOW!). Today I harvested the worm castings and placed my worms into a brand new worm bin that we built out in the yard.

Now I have over 200 pounds of the richest fertilzer money can buy. We'll have our third garden this year using the castings and our garden will become nuclear with the largest veggies, quickest growing and largest plants, with plentiful veggies. Don't be afraid, but here's what the little critters look like... oops, too big. See them at my web site: http://www.gcshomeinspections.com/blog

News Flash! Montrose Home Inspector takes Moon's temperature!

Wow, now that could be an image no one wishes to see! It was about a week ago when the moon was full and we had a brilliantly clear evening here in Montrose. I bet I could have seen New Milford, Hallstead, Great Bend and probably Scranton had the mountains not been in the way.

I got out my Fluke TiR1 Infrared Thermal Imager (camera) and pointed it up at the moon. It was a bit over 150 degrees. Thermal imaging works even through the vacuum of space!

From your Montrose Home Inspector

Your Montrose Home Inspector just read the Montrose Independent and found information that directly backed up what a Dimock resident told me yesterday at a local fresh water supply; this new gas-drilling operation going on in our area, although making some very wealthy, is possibly to blame for contaminants in drinking water.

You now have GCS Home Inspections and our services (including AFFORDABLE water sampling). You're probably reading this blog on our web site but I can't believe some of the possible negligence that has occurred in Dimock. A water sample analysis is in order for every concerned resident and I wish I could do it for free, but I can make it affordable! CALL me!!! I would like to develop a plan of monthly tests for you, beginning with a baseline so you know where you started. You can best identify (through a certified Lab analysis) when your water became contaminated, or when it became potable once again.

I tested my well water here at our home before we moved so I could have peace-of-mind that our children were not going to get sick from our water source. CALL ME!!! 570-504-8393

Is your home properly insulated and ready for winter? Will your roof suffer from roof dams and subsequent water damage? Thermal inspections is the key to non-invasive inspections of critical areas maybe needing insulation. A complete thermal inspection of your home will cost between $375 and $500; a small price compared to the huge energy bills that can occur from not having a properly insulated home. I thermal imaged our travel trailer and here's our story why.

We're traveling to Montrose, PA on our big move from CA. Home Inspection in PA will take a turn when we get there with our thermal imaging technology. We hit bad weather about 60 miles west of Laramie, WY and pulled into a rest area when we just were tired of struggling with the icy road and crazy drivers (who ened up off the road). I-80 was closed for the night and into the next morning; so we sat in our travel trailer, furnace running all night supplemented with a small electric heater powered by a small generator in the back of our truck.

I cannot imaging being in a survival situation such as this in my own home. Northern country can be a survival situation if your own home isn't ready. Call us for your inspection.
