Inspection findings

Kitec plumbing is a huge issue in Clark County. You need to find out if the house you are buying contains Kitec plumbing. I’ve noticed a lot of inspector’s have never actually seen Kitec plumbing. Sometimes you have to look below the attic insulation to find the actual plumbing lines.

Two-double stabbed 20-amp breakers noted. Double lugging/stabbing is where there are two wires feeding one breaker. Each breaker should have one wire.

Did not start the water heater. Missing water heater venting system noted.

Update: On the water heater above. Improper repairs have been made during the inspection. The handy man arrived and did not install the proper ventilation for the water heater. Open flue joints and missing draft diverter noted. Repair needed by a licensed plumber.

The water heater discharge pipe is missing on the temperature pressure relief valve. Suggest installing the required 3/4-inch discharge pipe on the temperature pressure relief valve to within 1 foot of the floor or to exterior of the building to ensure safety.

Did someone forget to insulate this attic?

Today I did an inspection for Channel 3 news reporter Marie Mortera. Marie is just as nice in person as she is on TV. Along with Maria is personal trainer Moxi Morrison and top shelf Las Vegas Realtor Roberta Jenkins. robertaj@americanagrp.com

In September of 2005, Marie Mortera became a part of the News 3 team but she joined the Sunbelt Communications family almost two years before that, at the sister station based in Yuma, AZ. She started as a bureau reporter, then went on to anchor and produce KYMA’s 5 pm newscast, before moving to Las Vegas.

Marie has worn many hats at Channel 3, from traffic reporter, to weather anchor, now you’ll find her anchoring the weekend morning news at 6 and 9. She can also be seen throughout the week, reporting on everything from breaking news to the lighter side of broadcasting, like Elvis, serenading couples at the city’s marriage bureau.

Marie isn’t too far away from home. She was born and raised in the Bay Area, where she got her degree in Broadcasting and Communications Arts from San Francisco State University. While going to school, she worked at various news stations, including The Filipino Channel, where she became one of the first reporters on a premiere newscast.

Marie is still active in her community and is a member of the Asian American Journalism Association.

She loves the ever-changing nature of the news business and telling stories about amazing people or events that shape local history. Through her job, she has also done things she never would’ve dreamed of, such as flying with the military’s aerial stunt team, the Blue Angels.

You can contact Marie at mmortera@kvbc.com

My Father owned his own construction company. Back in the late 60’s my brother Duane and I would work construction during school break learning the trade at an early age.

Below, I had an inspection next to the Lied animal shelter and stopped in after the inspection and adopted Gia.

I found this cat (Jones) on a roof, the neighbor said he was up there for a week so I brought him home and he’s been a great cat. Gia & Jones have become best friends and they play together every day.

Walter is a great handy man, very honest. http://myvegashandyman.com
