It's leaf collection time in Smyrna.  For those residents who are in need of leaf removal, the Smyrna Public Works Department will be coming by soon collecting leaves to be mulched and composted.  All leaves must be in biodegradable or paper bags.  Leaves in plastic bags will not be accepted.  Once your leaves are correctly bagged, place them at the edge of your yard, not in the street.  The chipper crew will come by and pick them up as they work their way from one side of town to the other.  There is no need to call to schedule a pick-up.  This is another great weekend project that can really impact your curb appeal and help your home to stand out from the crowd.

Home inspectors don't have all the answers to all of the challenges encountered during the inspection process. Sometimes we have to rely on 'subtitle' clues, and take the SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess) approach to reach a conclusion as to what the problem could be. While inspecting a 'challenging' property in another county, I had to use the above technique to determine if just maybe there might have been a drainage issue going on with the plumbing for the sink. What do you think?
