There are no courses offered to train Home Inspectors, to do inspections of these very unique homes. I'm very lucky, that I got to learn how from a man that built Straw Bale homes. He was a master builder.

The First Little Pig had a Straw Home, Seen that the Straw Bales used for the walls of the home, are hidden behind plaster, drywall even sometimes. Inspect-en these homes involve more than a stick home, does most times. An Inspector needs to do pre-inspection research, that should include a search for the plans of the home, find out if there was any photos taken as the home was being built, talk with the builder if at all possible. The Home Inspector should have an understanding of Straw Bale construction practices.

Even though a Straw Bale Home is very comfortable and energy-efficient, they can also be very unhealth if it was improperly designed or built. Some promotional campaigns have made these homes sound very simple to build, than they really are. Becouse of this, there have been homes constructed by builders and homeowners even, who were not at all qualified to do so.

Engineered Wood I-Beams Exposed to Fire Part two, new construction, nearly half of all new residential construction utilize engineered wood I-beams, these and other truss floor components are the norm for wood construction. Residential buildings built after 1990 are suspect for haven engineered wood I-beams or some type of truss floor system.

The hazards and risks of engineered wood I-beams is they burn rapidly due to a very high surface to mass ratio characteristic of kindling.

Just like a common truss, the engineered wood I-beam substitute geometry for mass to support the intended load. Engineered wood I-Beams rely on their depth for stability and allow for a reduction of material to carry the intended load. A reduction in mass means a much faster burn time and alot less time to structural failure.

Engineered Wood I-Beams Exposed to Fire Part two, just as a common truss, engineered wood I-beams are dependent on the bonds of its composite parts for stability. The adhesives used in engineered wood I-beams can quickly lose strength and integrity when damaged and weakened by heat exposure and flame impingement. Structural integrity will be compromised by improper cutting or notching of structural members during construcyion. The strength of a engineered wood I-beam is dependent on proper installation which may not be assured in construction practice.

A distinct building advantage of engineered wood I-beams is they can span up to sixty feet with out additional support. That sure will lead to much faster installation in itself, and less costly building material to the builder.

Engineered Wood I-Beams Exposed to Fire Part two, a bad thing is, theres no benefit to extinguish a burning truss, theres no repairing them. Often times the entire floor must be replaced. Fires involving the structural components of a building built with wood truss systems, including engineered wood I-Beams are usual a total loss.

Colonal in the U.S. Army, and stating that he is the Commander of the 1st. Battalion 63rd. Armor Regiment in Iraq. Is truely enough to royally pess this Vet off.

The Scammers of the world, operate in a number of different ways, but a Scammer always work on the emotions of folks. To force them to make decisions that can bring them real harm, if they should fall for the scam.

My Blood is Boiling and I'm going to Take Them On, the Scammers know that most folks who end up getting scammed, very often have so much pride that they will not admit to being taken, Scammers know that they can operate without impunity, going from household to household with their plan to extract money from hard working folks. Don't let your pride get in the way, report Scammers to the police and be prepared to file a complaint and testify in court if need be.

Pleace stand with me to help stamp out the Scammers of the world.
