You ask what I am talking about. Prostate Cancer Awareness Week!!
September 15 to 21 2008
Do you know we have a 33% chance of getting prostate cancer than a woman is at getting breast cancer? I am here to tell you it’s true.
Every 17 minutes a man somewhere dies each and every day of Prostate Cancer in America.
Over 27,050 men will die just because they were just to bull head to get an examination or did not act in time.
Don’t let it be said. You were just too afraid or too embarrassed to get tested.
None of us can rest until we have won the battle against Prostate Cancer. So get off the side lines and get tested.
If you don’t want to think about yourself, then think about your family!!
Early Detection
There are two very commonly used yet they are controversial prostate screening methods, there’s the digital rectal exam, or you can have a blood test that will check for high levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Although both screenings can detect a problem in the prostate, they will not show whether the problem is cancer or of a less serious condition.
PSA is not the most accurate test. But it is still the most effective screening available to us today. There’s a new urine test that may soon offered with less invasive and more accurate detection method, which will determine through cancer-related gene markers, those who have a higher risk for prostate cancer.
So let’s get our Blue Ribbons and show we care about our families.
Here in my area of New Hampshire on Tuesday 16 September 2008 at the Main Entrance of DHMC. The Prostate and Genitourinary Cancer Program at Norris Cotton Cancer Center will be hosting a Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.
There will be Educational Exhibits
From 2:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.
At the South Mall next to the Rotunda, informational exhibits on decision-making support, treatment options, clinical trials, and the Man to Man Prostate Cancer Support Group co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society.
You can also Pre-register and pick up information for a free prostate cancer screening to be held on Monday 22 September 2008. From 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.
So let’s show our Support, for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month September 2008!!

Q. What is a "Home Inspection"?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected is like giving it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, Baker Home Inspection and Consulting may recommend further evaluation.
Q. How long does a HOME INSPECTION usual take?
It really depends on the type of inspection you choose, I’ll be on site from 1 to 5 hours. Most 3 bedrooms, 2 baths Standard Home Inspections are between 2.5 to 3.5 hours.

Knowledge is the Power for Your Freedom to a Worry Free Home!
Q. Can't I do it myself? Even the most experienced home owner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional home inspector who has inspected hundreds, perhaps thousands, of homes in his or her career. An inspector is familiar with the many elements of home construction, their proper installation, and maintenance. He or she understands how the home's systems and components are intended to function together, as well as how and why they fail. Above all, most buyers find it very difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they really want, and this may affect their judgment. For the most accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial third-party opinion by an Professional in the field of Home Inspections.

Questions that are frequently asked about Mold
1. Why do we have mold growing in our home ?
Molds is a part of the natural environment. Outdoors, mold plays a very important part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves in your yard 
and dead trees, cut firewood 
but indoors, mold growth should always be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores, these spores are invisible to your naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air in your home. Mold may begin to grow indoors when the spores land on a surface area that is wet. 
There are lots of types of mold, and not one of them can start growing without some kind of water or moisture in your home.
2. Can mold cause myself or my family health problems ?
Molds are usually not a big problem indoors, unless the mold spores land on a wet or damp area in a home and start growing. Molds do have the potential to cause you and your family health problems. You see molds produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances.
Allergic reactions to mold are very common and include hay fever- type symptoms. Such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and even skin rash. Molds can and do cause asthma attacks in folk's with asthma who are allergic to mold.
I hope you and your family always have a fun and safe day!

Thank you for stopping by to visit, my little ole Blogging Homestead!
I use only high-tech inspection equipment.I maintain a high-tech office environment with state-of-the-art computers,copiers and high-end printers! I produce comprehensive,high quality computerized reports with digital photos! Knowledge is power and my inspections give you the facts you need to be an informed buyer. You will learn which items may need attention and whether something is a major concern or simply cosmetic.
Although not required, it would be good that you attend the inspection so that you can get a clear explanation of the condition of the structure, observe the systems. The typical home inspection takes approximately 2-3 hours depending on the size and condition of the house.
As a buyer,you should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer.Make sure the Purchase and Sales Agreement( Contract )you are signing has an home inspection contingency.Then,arrange for me or an inspector of your choosing to inspect the property.Following this you should pay close attention to the inspection report.If you arent comfortable with what I find,you should ask that the seller correct the problems before your closing,negotiate a lower purchase price or obtain better terms to compensate.
Let me inject some age old reality. As many good and ethical Real Estate Listing and Buyer Agents as there are out there a few ruin it for the rest. My experience has shown that when Real Estate Agents try rushing the inspector,start disputing the inspector's findings while on site,question the inspector's work at the site or off, I am left with the feeling that they are truely NOT representing you the Buyer but are more interested in the sale and commission! Even Agents with many years of experience. In my opinion,a good Buyer Agent will support his or her's client's wishes and if an inspector finds problems with a property the Buyer Agent should achnowledge such,not dispute it! If problems exist,what's there to dispute?
Is your Buyer Agent representing YOU Only or Not? Stay sharp and good luck! Getting a home inspection? Good idea.
But don't forget to get a neighborhood inspection too. Let www.NeighborhoodEnvironmental.com research your city and send you a report which includes everything from the status of local hazardous waste sites to health risks specific to your neighborhood.

Tommy and Deb K.
Hi Dale
Thank you for the very thorough inspection of the house. Especially taking the time to check the roof very closely. The most alarming point seemed to be the electrical. As you probably know better than anyone, electrical problems are a very huge safety risk.
Again, thank you Dale for the fine inspection job you did, although we did not get to meet you personally, we enjoyed reading the detailed report and we will recommend your services to anyone in the future.
Jeffrey
Hi Dale
I want every one to know we where very impressed with the aervice you provided us inspecting our new home. Dale found a number of issues that could have been our problem to correct, after the closing that would have cost us a lot to fix. We would enthusiastically endorse employing Dale for any home inspection you would need.
