		<title>Danger to Pets from Garage Door Openers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Ralph Brady
Brady Home Inspection
As a home inspector my main concern is for the safety of the home for people.  For many people their pets are almost like a member of the family.  I feel that way with my cat.  Just last week I heard of a another cat that was killed [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is the Difference Between GFCI &amp; GFI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was asked this question on a recent blog about GFCI protection.  Because this does come up on inspections fairly often, I thought I would clarify it with a post.  Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is the proper and full name.  The name comes from the fact that the device is monitoring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oily Rags are Dangerous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have had a spate of spontaneous combustion ignited fires in our small community lately.  One local town has had at least four confirmed spontaneous combustion fires in the last 6 months.  One of the recent fires destroyed an apartment building &#8220;when rags containing an organic or vegetable-based oil were placed wadded up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does a GFCI really prevent electrical shocks?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I see many home inspectors stating that GFCI&#8217;s should be installed to prevent electrical shocks. The fact is GFCI&#8217;s do absolutly nothing to reduce the risk of an electrical shock.  A properly functioning GFCI device can greatly reduce the risk of electrocution (death by electric shock) or serious injury.
A GFCI is designed to disconnect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now you&#8217;re cooking with gas!!</title>

Please forgive the font changes, I can&#8217;t seem to correct it.
Tired after Thanksgiving?  Maybe it&#8217;s not the turkey.   There is no difference between the natural gas flame in your oven and the flame in your furnace or water heater.  Nobody would think it was OK to vent the furnace or water heater directly into your [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Long Should A Home Inspection Take?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How long should a home inspection take? There are many variables to this question. The size, age, condition and foundation type of the house are the biggest variables. A new 1000 square foot house on a slab foundation is going to take much less time to inspect than a 2500 square foot, 100 year old [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should the buyer attend the home inspection?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Performing a home inspection requires a great deal of concentration and a fairly strict routine.  There is a LOT to look at in a relatively short period of time.  A home inspector is most likely going to have a written checklist or a computer to use for on-site data entry.   I use a very detailed check list [...]]]></description>
