Citrus Heights, CA

Did you think this through? Photo Fun

Okay, maybe the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but it doesn’t mean it’s the best answer when it comes to property improvements.

I got a call to check for a leak in the storage shed in Sacramento, that is attached to the main building. There were several problem areas but this one topped the list. When adding power to the shed, someone ran a conduit line straight down through the roof and into an electrical box. The water was leaking through the roof, down the conduit, and all over the electrical box.

If given the choice, do not allow water and electricity to mix.

Hidden Dry Rot in Sacramento Apartment Complex - General Contractor Called

I received a urgent call from an apartment manager concerned about a dry rot issue that they had. Apparently the storage closet was damaged to a point where vandals were able to literally tear open the wood siding of the storage unit. That’s right, the rotten wood was so bad that someone could push though the bad siding and walk through the wall.

The repair of this area was necessary to secure the area from future problems. I got a kick out of the temporary solution to this problem. They stacked up several concrete steps to cover the damaged hole that the rot had created.

Calling a qualified contractor before the damage had gotten this bad, may have been a better choice.

Citrus Heights, CA Back to School Already?

I remember growing up and dreading Labor Day weekend because it meant September was upon us and we were heading back to school. Now that I have my own child, I realized school years start sooner and sooner. Tomorrow, August 22nd is the first day of school here in Citrus Heights, CA in the San Juan Unified School District.

The morning will come and the streets will be filled with children, backpacks and lunchboxes. For those who have not yet seen the San Juan Unified school calendar here you go!

I have included the list of holidays, breaks and teacher work days. I also noticed that over the years the names of the vacations have unfortunately become more "politically" correct, I have included the old fashioned names!
