Default Wood stove problem????

I was driving and could see smoke from a mile away. It just happen that I had to drive down the same street it was on. It's hard to see how much smoke was coming out due to the weather and the wind. When I drove by I saw smoke coming out of the roof jack. I stopped and knocked on the door. I told the guy you have smoke coming out of the roof and not the pipe. He said yea it's got a problem. I said it shouldn't be like that and for all you know the attic is on fire. He said it's ok. So I left.

Natural selection in progress.



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

You know what? I'll bet nothing happens to that guy. People like that seem to go through life living on the edge and never have problems. It's the guy with an unnoticed hairline crack in the flue that ends up with the house fire. Go figure!

So I happen to be going to another house on the same street today and took some pics of what the house looks like now.

Years ago, I had an old man that use to help me with inspections (he got too old to help). His main job was to spend time with the buyers and answer any of their common questions, so I could get the inspection done. It was the last inspection of the day. After spending an extra hour or so answering this buyers questions, we started walking towards the van. He said underneath his breath that some buyers are too stupid and should not be allowed to own a home. It appears that this homeowner must fall underneath this category.
Sad but true.
