In recognition of July 4th, a soda company has decided to put the Pledge of Allegiance on the side of its bottle. Unfortunately they left out the words “under God” in the oath of loyalty. Did they forget? Was it a typo? NO! They didn’t want to “offend” anybody…Really? Well let’s talk about this for a minute, because this seems to have been an ongoing pursuit by American citizens for a long time.
I am just a normal, average American, I was raised Catholic but I don’t practice exclusively. I believe in God but I don’t attend church regularly and I definitely do not preach, nor do I force God on those around me. Though, to many, this is about forcing God on those who don’t believe, to me it is a complete act of absurdity. To me, this isn’t about God, Buddha, Satin or whoever else you decide to put your faith in…this is about changing history….which is impossible.
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Bellamy in 1892, it was then formerly adopted into Congress in 1942 and in 1954 the words “under God” were added. Now, first and foremost, who gives anybody the right to change this historic pledge to our flag? Well, I guess the only people that can do that are Congress, but even then why would they do it? In order not to offend anybody? I should hope not.
Christians, people who believe in God, make up approximately 75% of our nation. Many of those say that their religion and God are of paramount importance in their lives. Out of the other 25% of the people who make up America, 5.5% are of other religious beliefs (such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam) and about 15% have no religious beliefs at all.
So, who exactly is this soda company trying NOT to offend? The 75% of Americans who believe in God, or the 25% who don’t? What has this world come to?

Happy New year to all.
Why do I get the feeling that Realtors do not like some inspectors? Could it be because inspectors are paid to perform an inspection and if the house has problems or conditions that need addressing then, he or she puts them down in the report. If an inspector is worth their salt then he or she is going to be detailed as well as find problems. Look hard and long enough at anything and anybody and you will find faults.
I get the feeling that some time the Realtor wants some inspectors to not be very thorough. So, why do some Realtors not want the inspector to not be so thorough? Even if there is a problem, most problems can be fixed. If folks want a home sold, then is it not just best to have problems found, and have them repaired? I have been told by some Realtors at times that if an inspection would not have been performed then the deal would not have been blown. When I hear this, I just about want to scream. I know that both Realtors want a deal to go through but if my representing Realtor ever said this to me then I would be very disappoointed.
I know that many Realtors are great just like inspectors and there are bad apples in every bunch.
Inspectors should have ethics as well as Realtors. I am all for this.
If you were to buy a house, would you not want the inspector to be very detailed and find any problems, providing they existed of course? If it was your money? Of course you would!
Another question I have. Do you ever request that an infra red scan be performed to a home before the buyer buys the house? Or do you just typically just suggest a general home inspection be performed? Do most folks even know what a infra red scan will do and can do and what kind of information you will have after performing an infra red scan to a home.? Many of times, without the use of the infra red scan, we are not able to determine what is going on behind walls and ceilings without performing an infra red scan. When you have a physical every year, providing that you do, do you not want tests to be run to make sure that you do not have problems and if so, do some thing that can be done to correct any problems? For example, when I have a physical, I have all kinds of lab work done. My health care provider may tell me I look fine but until tests are run how will he or she be able to tell me or be able to determine what is going on with my body of flesh? Does this make sense?
I would appreciate any of yours input on this subject.
If it is hot, stay cool with plenty of water and shade.
Aloha,
David
Did you know that cleaning up pet waste, pet droppings is not only good for your health but good for our environment?
Did you know that in Mecklenburg County that we have over a quarter of a million dogs and these dogs are producing in excess of more than 72,000 pounds of droppings each day?
Did you know that if you do not take care of animal waste in your yard that it gets transported to strom drains which then goes to your local water ways without being treated?
Did you know that there is bacteria, viruses, parasites that are in pet waste which can also be harmful to human health? You never want to walk without shoes in your back yard if you have an animal. Why, you mind end up with some thing like hook worm or some other kind of worms in your body. Kinda gross huh?
When you take your animal for a walk are you using a leash and are you cleaning up the waste from your dog with a bag so others may not step on it while walking?
Have you applied lime to your yard this year? This will really help if you have animals.
I used to have a boxer given to me by the Carolina Panthers and my dogs was stolen but the police got him back only the dog was stolen again. This time for good. He was my buddy and I really miss Dino my boxer.

Who We Are:
Executive Restoration has the ability to tell what is going on behind your walls before you buy a house. We can tell you what is in your air, or wh
at is it that is growing on your walls or the house that you would like to buy. We also perform moisture level readings to determine if the crawl space is wet and needs to be dried out.
The reason that a Realtor should want us is because w
e are an honorable company and because we take pride in what we do. Executive Restoration is owned by David Snell and I believe in always being honorable and always taking the high road. So, here is my question to all Realtors. Do you want a company such as Executive Restoration to come in and be totally truthful and write out what needs to be done with our recommendations and suggestions? Are you looking to help your client make an excellent choice in buying a home with minimal problems?
I am not a home inspector! I am a certified mold inspector!
I am a certified mold inspector and mold rem
ediator. I do not believe that a certified mold inspector should also be a home inspector because of a conflict of interest.
I also believe that all Realtors should suggest to their clients that they have the following performed before they close on a house.
1. A home inspection by some one who has at least 5 years of experience.
2. A certified mold inspection who has been in th
e business of water damage and mold remediation for at least 5 years.
3. A termite inspection.
I am not trying to step on anyone's toes in here but I want what is best for our clients as I am sure you probably do as well.

By Marc - Nov 9, 2010 Top Notch "I called Executive Restoration for a client who was in a BIG hurry. We were 80 miles away. The owner called me at 8 PM and said his crew would be here before lunch the next day. We really felt we received truthful answers, which is important in the mold business. Lab report was delivered on time as promised, and I got a phone call from the owner as the report was being emailed to me so he could explain everything. The competition better watch out!" Marc Baysek www.RockinghamExitRealty.com
Nov 3, 2010 "Caring and Helpful David Snell served as an expert witness in a case I recently tried involving mold. David was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was very beneficial that David is both a certified mold inspector and remediator. David was very good about responding to questions or inquiries. It is obvious he is passionate and cares about his work and his customers. " (Poyner Spruill LLP)
Aug 10, 2010 "David is a good man! I am the owner of another restoration company here in Charlotte. I converse with David Snell, the owner of Executive Restoration on a regular basis. We share ideas and "Best Practices" to make sure customers get the best care possible. David makes sure that projects are done right!

Aug 7, 2010 " WOW!!! From the moment I first called (after discovering mold in my bathroom) until the job was finished, I was completely satisfied and even thrilled with the work done by this company. Executive Restoration recently completed the restoration of my bathroom. The owner David Snell was in touch with me daily to make sure I was pleased with the work being done. His employee, Robert was kind, trustworthy, professional and excellent at what he does. My bathroom is now better than before the mold damage occurred. If you need any kind of restoration work done, you should give these guys a call. They are the BEST!" Sincerely, Sherry Blevins
Jul 23, 2009 "Thanks from Godspeed Technologies, LLC "Executive restoration is an honorable company with a big network, very intricate, with a lot detail. Has sturdy and fair pricing.

Jun 16, 2010 Debbie's Review Executive Restoration "Got called on a job that I had been through work, which was how I first heard of them. I was the liaison on this job, which had to do with a claim that involved damage, and I was impressed with how very understanding they were. They worked well with my customer, had a lot of empathy, and answered all of the questions. They listened to what I had to say, and they were upfront and honest when I asked questions. That night, when I came home from the job, my house was flooded because my ac had broken. I called them and asked they worked with insurance, which they said they did. It was 8 p.m. and they came right over and got all the water out of my house. I have worked with a lot of water and restoration companies, and some do not even show up when you need them. Some companies subcontract the work out. Executive Restoration is reliable and does not subcontract the work out...they come and do it themselves. They are thorough and reasonable priced."
"My name is Sherry Blevins and I live in Charlotte N.C. (my insurance company had an inspector come out to my home and stated my water damage was unrelated to previously discovered roof leak. The insurance inspector told me that he suspected that the leak was coming from the concrete slab and suggested I call a plumber. I knew that the insurance would only cover the burst pipe so I delayed calling. When mold began growing on my vanity, I knew some thing needed to be done so I called Executive Restoration. The owner, explained to me the process over the phone. David Snell immediately sent over his project manager named Robert V. and he used an Infrared Scanning Device as well as a moisture level meter and performed a detailed mold and water damage inspection. Executive Restoration was able to clearly see what the insurance company had missed as well as the plumber and roofer. The damage was from the roof! The water had traveled through the interior of the wall and down outside of a pipe to the bathroom floor. There was no plumbing issue at at! Thank God I did not waste money having the plumber rip out walls to find nothing. I am grateful I called Executive Restoration and they handled the job from start to finish and did an excellent job." Signed, Sherry Blevins, Charlotte. May 19, 2010.
Jul 23, 2009 Thanks. “Executive Restoration represents the highest levels of work quality, also the highest levels of integrity. David cares about his customers and treats them like family.
