Use Drone to Find Roof Leak
David Cox has a drone with a GoPro camera on it. He's also got a leak in his wood-framed chimney. Even though the shot could have been a little closer in this video below, it only took me about three seconds to locate the problem. This is an EXCELLENT example of how technology can help […]
How To Sell Your House Fast For the Highest Price
I became an Ohio licensed real estate salesman in February of 1975. I was 23 and very wet behind the ears. My broker was a wise man named Harry Cafeo, and he owned a company called CCC Realty located on Harrison Avenue in Cheviot, OH. Within ten years, I passed the test to become a broker […]
Tim Carter’s Kidney Stone Story
Posted on January 20, 2015 On October 7, 2014, I flew to Los Angeles with my youngest daughter for a week of vacation. We were staying at my good friend Russell's house and he has a special connection to Disneyland. My daughter had never been there, so the morning of October 8th, off we went for a […]
Flashlight In Mouth Explodes

Raw Sewage Diseases
Cliff C McDonald Sr., who lives in Jacksonville, Alabama, had a great question. It's right to the point: "Can you catch a disease from raw sewage running on top of the ground?" Cliff, you bet you can. If you follow the international news after any huge natural disaster like a typhoon, hurricane, earthquake, etc. you'll […]
Tommy Bryant Praise of AsktheBuilder.com

Crystal Clear Ice in Slovak Mountains
About five years ago, the lake next to my house, Lake Winnisquam, froze almost like this. The ice was as smooth as you see in this video, but it was thicker and you could see to the bottom. However, it wasn't as CLEAR as you'll see below. This is simply amazing and must have been […]
