  We are going to replace that Cameron Park water heater, it doesn’t look so good.   Replacing a water heater can be a tough choice sometimes, but sometimes you really do need to get it replaced. The reasons can vary: The water is no longer heating Water is leaking from the water heater The flow of the water has slowed down The water heater that we replaced in Cameron Park today did not look well. The dark build-up near the base and in the exhaust vent was not normal. Something had to change.   The air vents supplying the closet were covered with dust, I think the lack of air flow may have been a part of it. What do you think – Time to replace the unit?         View Larger Map

  We had an unexpected rain this morning in Placerville; it came down pretty heavy for about a half an hour, and then slowly tapered off. This photo was of the sunset the night before, it probably was a good indicator of a possible rainfall in the future. It was nice to get a bit of rain to wash things out.       View Larger Map

  A Special Subway Sandwich Shop in Cameron Park, Let’s Meet For lunch!   I make my love for Subway Sandwich known to all that care to listen; most of my lunches are spent eating my favorite sandwich there. I have been to hundreds of shops in many cities over the years, but I do have a favorite location – it’s in Cameron Park, CA. There is a Subway in the Golderado Shopping Center that really is a step above the rest. Sure they sell the same sandwiches as other Subways, but there is something special about this shop. If you are in the Cameron Park area, stop in and give it a try. They are located right next to the CVS, there is plenty of parking. It is a family owned business that cares about the customer. There is always friendly conversation, light-hearted humor, and genuine customer ...

  It must be that time of year for spiders; they seem to be in all the right places.    Dark places, cooler spots, remote areas less bothered – you know, all the areas that a general contractor needs to be working to get to the dry rot and water damage. J   I nearly walked into this one yesterday; she is a beauty up close.       Enjoy this day!

      The skies were quite cloudy in the Sierras today; it looked like rain and was very “muggy” most of the day. It never did rain in Cameron Park but the temperatures were down. This afternoon the skies got clearer with just a few thin clouds to decorate the clear blue backdrop.

  3900 Rustic Rd Cameron Park, CA being sold as-is, I wonder if they will be needing a general contractor?     Bank owned properties tend to be in need of some repair, and the repairs can range from simple maintenance to major overhauls. Buyers may need to contact a general contractor before the purchase to get a better understanding of the cost to do the repairs.

  We will work while you are away from the home or office.     Just because it is a holiday or weekend doesn’t mean that a contractor isn’t willing to go to work. Sometimes this is the best opportunity to get things done. We work on a Sunday to get some paint sprayed to an interior of an apartment clubhouse interior. Spraying on the weekend, while the office is closed, helps to cut down on the disruption of business; the work was done during daylight hours.     We don’t mind.

  Squirrels can do some real damage too!         While opening a decorative column surrounding this 6”x6” post in an apartment community in Cameron Park, we came across this at the base of the post. It seems the squirrels have been chowing at the base of this post for some time. Luckily it was discovered before something really bad happened.  J

  Is that Gutter Falling off The Building?   While replacing an entry door in Cameron Park today, the rains started. The rain was predicted to come so it wasn’t really a surprise when it started. However, it seemed to be heavier than they described on the news. The heavy rains brought a surprise while working on the entry door. Water was cascading over the walkway, not down the downspout. When I looked up to see the source of this water, I noticed that the gutter had a problem. The problem was that the gutter was coming off the building. I guess no one had noticed the gap between the metal gutter and the roof end. The rain made it obvious the gutters need to be looked at more closely. I will be doing that in the near future. This is not all that uncommon of a problem in apartment commun...

  Just a few dollars can make a big difference in renting an apartment.   There is a battle brewing in the apartment rental market. Many residents in the Cameron Park area are taking advantage of the low interest rates and dip in the home prices to get into a home of there own. With the demand for apartment living dropping, there is competition in getting the units filled.   We can see many different tactics being used to draw the new tenants to the sites. Free month rent, cash incentives, special accommodations and much more is being dangled in front of those looking to move. While these incentives can bring the people in to the rental office, are they signing the lease? The answer ultimately is in the unit and community itself. Does it look like someplace you want to live? Am I gettin...

  You can never quite fully explain the potential damage that may be found under water damaged siding. You can make notes in the estimate that the damages may extend beyond what can be seen. An experienced contractor can describe what might be discovered once things get opened up. You can even tell the client that you are pretty sure that the damage will be extensive, but they always sound surprised to see what things look like when the walls are opened up.   If you are talking to a contractor that is pretty sure that the damages are likely to extend into the structural framing - believe him. It is likely just to let you know in advance that you do have a problem and it can be fixed. It is not the frighten you and to get a change order out of you.

  Let’s just tie into the plumbing in the next room!   I had to clean up my hands in a local commercial building today, got a surprise plumbing lesson while in there. Apparently they added a small sink in the break room and figured that they could just run a new drain line into the restroom. It is a creative idea.     View Larger Map

  Just Enough Rain To Make For a Muddy Day.     Drizzling rain in the morning made for a sloppy, muddy day of concrete demolition and form board setting in Cameron Park for this general contractor. As the morning progressed, the sun finally poked its way through the clouds and we got some dry weather before the end of the day.

  My Wife Doesn’t Know It But Today I Was Picking Up Some Chicks   I got the opportunity to pick up some of the baby chicks that a friend was adding to her chicken population. This is the same woman who had introduced me to the fresh colored eggs that I had never seen before. These chicks will be producing eggs after they get a bit older.   I’m looking forward to getting some more of those fresh eggs.

  Sidewalk in Cameron Park – Before and After   Not everyone can visualize what a new concrete sidewalk will look like before a concrete is installed. In a recent concrete job, I had access to the stairwell above the area where the sidewalk was needed. By taking a few photos from above, it was easier to draw out what the layout was going to look like. I had a chance to show how many of the plants could be saved. Some were trimmed back and one removed. It would have been too hard for the manager to see where I wanted the new walkway to go and how I was going to go about it. Using the “before” photo I could literally cut a strip of paper to simulate the new walk, close to scale, and slid it across the photo to show all the possible locations and what it would look like. Not exactly high t...
