of the two rooms burning.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2830\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2484\">The shower looks really good. \u00a0I do have to have Linda run down stairs to check for leaks but I have no doubt it it is fixed. \u00a0I did not know there was caulk like that. \u00a0It is as hard as the grout. \u00a0Dennis did an excellent job - he taped it all off before applying so it looks really good.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2831\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2832\">Also thank you for testing the leak before putting the access door in. \u00a0What a great idea.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2485\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2486\">I was thinking about comments you have made several times about there being too many regulations by the government for building and how you don't agree with it. \u00a0I think you said, \"They should just get out of the way and let us build\". \u00a0I agree with you 100% if all houses were built by Dale Hicks and Associates. \u00a0 You are a unique soul that does what is right no matter what! \u00a0You are one of the very few that I would say has a code of living that permeates your life.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2833\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2834\">It actually would scare the hell out of me if the other 99.9% were allowed to build without controls. \u00a0I think it would be a disaster.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2835\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2842\">I spoke with Linda about someone looking at the house on a Sunday. \u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2487\">How about we do it on April 23rd at 1:00?<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_2541\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div

roof lines - the roofs were vented. \u00a0We would always have huge ice dams. \u00a0The heat would escape into the attic above the insulation and there was never enough air exchange from the vents to keep it cold. \u00a0Snow on the roof would melt and run down to the 2 ft overhang that was not insulated and freeze into a dam causing leaks. \u00a0What a mess. \u00a0This would seal everything up!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_4524\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520127782813_4525\">Great house guys - you should be very proud!!<\/div>\n<div
