It was in my mailbox unsolicited, tooting your horn. That’s spam. Poorly written spam.

Don’t take up comment spamming now….

I prefer to believe that it is the former.

I do not SPAM.

That is both illegal and something I personally hate.

The reason I have stacks of wall anchor plates at my shop,is sadly that I have had o remove them due to wall failure.

I suggest if you want to learn more about why they fail that you visit, http://www.superdrybasement.com and click on the are your basement walls bowing chapter.

I believe that you will find the reasons you are looking for, and will come away with far greater knowledge.

I have written three books two of them about basements and I freely give copies to those who inquire.

1. Popularity of posts as indicated by number of comments/traffic is innacurate. The ones who visit are very interested and the series was honestly of value to me. I love this stuff and the inspector blog would be awesome! (ps, I’m one to speak, I get no traffic and almost have anxiety attacks over it. It’s blog envy. Everyone’s got it.)

2. I often get “free” quotes because I don’t give in to a salesperson easy. I learn tons from a free estimate. Especially when the salesperson is chatty. I heard once, may have been from Nick Sung(?), when I had a bowing wall, I was under the impression an anchor system could pull the bow out of a wall. NO WAY. It can prevent further bowing. That’s all any of these things can do. I-beams, strips, anchors, etc. Pulling a wall that’s taken years to bow to a straight wall in days would likely crack all kinds of drywall, mess up the foundation, etc.

Great theme of posts. Don’t care how popular you thought it was, I loved it.

I wonder why my blog put your comment in moderation… you’ve commented here before haven’t you?

We were talking about you on Twitter yesterday. Don’t be alarmed. There was a rumor you were no longer with EWM. I squelched it but who knows… We were of course discussing Lucas Lechuga and EWM firing him… and we were saying who else is with EWM, you, Kevin T, etc.

Let me again say via my itty bitty Columbus Ohio blog about wet basements that Broker Maggie is with EWM in Miami Florida where they don’t have basements??? None of Florida has basements ? Hope I have that right or I could get sued by basements all over Florida. being silly..
