  3. Uneven pattern of the shingles indicates a non-professional installation. Due to the potential for latent defects, a full professional roof installation is recommended.
  4. While pool fence codes vary, a typical number is minimum 4’ high, with no more than 2" gaps at the bottom and of course should meet the 4" sphere rule as well.
  5. This popup drain is likely connected to a sump pump or other drainage. During wet weather water may flow onto the adjacent sidewalk, potentially leading to moss growth or slip hazards.

One Way Ticket (Because I Can) is the third single from Leann Rimes‘ debut album Blue.

  1. My answer is “D”
  2. My answer is “A”
  3. I observed what appeared to be a fungus/Algae like material on the roof coverings resembling what is know as lichen. Lichen is known to hold moisture and may speed up the roof covering aging process. I recommend having the roof evaluated for cleaning by a qualified professional.
  4. 48" & 2"
  5. Appears to be a subterranean termite bait station.
