The Northern Home Inspection display at Numerica Credit Union in Ponderay got a nice little refresh.
I brought in more of the useful stuff, including USB C rechargeable flashlights, torpedo levels, high quality neoprene koozies, tape measures, fridge magnets, stickers, and a few other small items.

The flashlights are really nice, and the torpedo levels, tape measures, and koozies are all things people can actually use around the house, in the truck, or in a tool drawer.

The team at the Ponderay branch was awesome when I brought everything in. They were all about the new items for the display, and I was happy to make sure they got some too.

If you are in the area, stop by the Ponderay branch and grab something from the display while it is available. Thanks again to Numerica for continuing to support local small businesses.

Numerica Credit Union does a great job supporting local small businesses. When they reached out and asked if Northern Home Inspection would be their featured “Business of the Month,” we were honored.

We set up the display in their Ponderay lobby, and it turned out great.

A big thank you to the Numerica team for the invite and for their continued support of local small businesses and the community.

Stop by the branch, check it out, and grab some Northern Home Inspection swag!

A while back I posted this barn as the photo in a joke about homeowners who think everything is fine. The joke wasn’t about the barn. It was just the perfect visual. I’ve been in North Idaho about 15 years, and this barn was already old long before I got here. Still, it became one of those landmarks you recognize right away. I was working in the area Friday and saw it had collapsed. Tough to see. It stood a long time. There’s something about old places like that. They carry history, hard work, and a lot of seasons. Nothing lasts forever, but I’m grateful I got to see it standing. RIP.

Came across this panel and it immediately reminded me of watching A Christmas Story.

These old fuse panels just feel like a different era. They were mostly phased out of new construction back in the 1960s and early 1970s once circuit breakers became the standard. They are not super common anymore, but they are not unheard of either. I still come across a few every year in older homes around North Idaho.

There is no exact expiration date stamped on an electrical panel, but most modern breaker panels typically get replaced somewhere in that 25 to 40 year range depending on condition and use. When you are looking at something likely 60 plus years old, it is generally considered outdated and often recommended for replacement.

Fuse panels have limited capacity by today's standards and carry a higher risk of improper fuse replacement, which can create safety concerns. It is way too easy for someone to screw a 30 amp fuse into a slot meant for a 15 amp wire to stop it from blowing, and that creates a major fire hazard. Plus, getting a new home insurance policy with one of these active is usually pretty tough.

This one has definitely earned retirement.

If you were buying a home or representing a client and were to see this... what would you think?

SVL, one of only two labs in the area for private well water testing, will stop offering this service after August 27th.

We’re definitely bummed to lose this local option. Because of this change, Northern Home Inspection will only be able to offer private well water sampling on Mondays for now. We’ll continue working with our other trusted lab, Accurate Testing and are actively exploring other possible options moving forward.

I recently received a thoughtful gift from InterNACHI recognizing my 5-year anniversary as a certified home inspector. It was a great reminder of how much I’ve grown in the field and how committed I am to performing a quality home inspection for my clients.

I truly appreciate the referrals I get from agents and past clients. I believe people keep sharing my name because I take the time to walk through the home, explain what I’m seeing, and answer any questions on site. I’m thorough, and I genuinely care about helping people make informed decisions on what’s often one of the biggest investments of their lives.

I will continue to deliver quality inspections. Again, I truly appreciate the support I get from clients and agents.
