Does anyone have a “fill-in-able” pdf version of the Tower Hill 4 Point Inspection form?

Does anyone have a “fill-in-able” pdf version of the Tower Hill 4 Point Inspection form?
Thanks
Why, I Just E-mail my 4 point form to towel hill about 30 min’s ago " NO PROBLEM " they were happy !
E-mail John or Michelle… they have the forms you need…
I use them…no problems.
Or if your savy enough you could make them yourself.
Pdf fill is the best but for some reason no one here listens.
Because, it isn’t “the best”! Just my opinion.
Adobe pro works fine.
You can use the NACHI form or, ask them what they want and then make up your own form.
You can do it in any software you choose and if money is an issue, open office is free.
An Insurance agent emailed this to me and I was wondering if anyone has this converted to a fill in type form?
Send me the form and I will do it for you.

What a guy
Good job of taking care of the other guys.
At least Brandon is not near us
While searching for their form, I ran across this:
PEX Plumbing
PEX, cross-linked polyethylene, piping is not acceptable. Our extensive claims data indicated that PEX piping is prone to
leaking and often results in significant water damage. Please review 4-point inspections and do not submit risks with PEX
pipes
**Interesting Find **—here are the drawbacks listed for PEX on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene
Drawbacks of PEX piping include:
Degradation from sunlight. PEX tubing cannot be used in applications exposed to sunlight, as it degrades fairly rapidly.[19] Prior to installation it must be stored away from sunlight, and needs to be shielded from daylight after installation. Leaving it exposed to direct sunlight for as little as 30 days may result in premature failure of the tubing due to embrittlement.[19]
Problems with yellow brass fittings. There have been some claimed PEX systems failures in the U.S., Canada and Europe resulting in several pending class action lawsuits. The failures are claimed to be a result of the brass fittings used in the PEX system. Generally builders and manufacturers have learned from these experiences and have found the best materials for use in fittings used to connect pipe with connectors, valves and other fittings. But there were problems reported with a specific type of brass fitting used in connection with installations in Nevada which caused a negative interaction between its mineral-rich hard water[20] and so-called “yellow brass” fittings.[7] What had happened was that zinc in the fittings leached into the pipe material in a chemical reaction known as dezincification, causing some leaks or blockages.[20] A solution was to replace the yellow brass fittings which had 30% zinc with red brass fittings which had 5% to 10% zinc.[20] It led California building authorities to insist on fittings made from “red brass” which typically has a lower zinc content, and is unlikely to cause problems in the future since problems with these specific fittings have become known.[7]
Initial adjustment to a new plumbing system. There were a few reported problems in the early stages as plumbers and homeowners learned to adjust to the new fittings, and when connections were poorly or improperly made, but home inspectors have generally not noticed any problems with PEX since 2000.[21]
Can’t use adhesives for pipe insulation. One source suggested that pipe insulation, applied to PEX using certain adhesives, could have a detrimental effect causing the pipe to age prematurely; however, other insulating materials can be used such as conventional foam wrap insulation without negative effects.[18]
Fittings somewhat more expensive. Generally PEX fittings, particularly the do-it-yourself compression ones, are more expensive than copper ones, although there is no soldering required.[2]
Potential problems for PEX radiant heating with iron-based components. If PEX tubing is used in a radiant heating system which has ferrous radiators or other parts, meaning they are made out of iron or its alloys, then there is the possibility of rust developing over time; if this is the case, then one solution is to have an “oxygen barrier” in these systems to prevent rust from developing. However, in new installations PEX pipes and iron-based components are not intermixed.
Possible health effects. There was controversy in California during the 2000s about health concerns. Several groups blocked adoption of PEX for concerns about chemicals getting into the water, either from chemicals outside the pipes, or from chemicals inside the pipes such as methyl tertiary butyl ether and tertiary butyl alcohol.[22] These concerns delayed statewide adoption of PEX for almost a decade. After substantial “back-and-forth legal wrangling” which was described as a “judicial rollercoaster”, the disputing groups came to a consensus, and California permitted use of PEX in all occupancies.[23][24] An environmental impact report and subsequent studies determined there were no causes for concerns about public health from use of PEX piping.[23]
I am using PDF software which allows me to create, edit and convert any PDF file. It is named as Classic PDF editor. I hope it solve your problem. You can free download it from here.

It is “Free” for 3 days…and I wouldn’t waste your time. Installed…five minutes later…uninstalled.

I love it and use it even though I own acrobat X
Also saw this in same page:
Roof Shape
HIP = Roof having sloping ends and sloping sides down to the eaves line. GABLE = The portion of the roof above the eaves
line of a double-sloped roof; the end sections appears as an inverted “V.” For rating purposes. A “hip” roof cannot have gable
features that exceed 50% of the width of any major exterior wall. Similarly, if the gable features do exceed 50% of the width
of any major exterior wall, it must be classified as a “gable” roof. FLAT = In contrast to the sloped form of a roof, a flat roof is
nearly horizontal. The slight angle or slope is designed to prevent pooling of water. A flat roof is quickly identified by its
covering, as it traditionally uses a rubber membrane or tar and gravel based surface to prevent penetration. With the
exception of masonry reinforced concrete roofs, dwellings with any portion of the roof being flat are unacceptable. However, if
you feel a particular risk warrants review, you may submit documentation to your Account Underwriter.
A lot of insurance company’s will not insure homes with flat roofs.
wiht the 50% rule they are running from behind trying to catch up:D
Or walls… :shock: :shock: :shock:
