101 DALMATIANS THE MUSICAL is an experience for the entire family about what it means to be a family, canine and courageous. More than a simple story about good versus bad, the family bands together to overcome every hurdle and hardship in the most difficult times.

Led by the creative team of Jerry Zaks (La Cage Auz Folles, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, Everybody Loves Raymond), B.T. McNicholl (Spamalot, Billy Elliot, Cabaret) and Dennis DeYoung (founding member of the rock group Styx, The Hunchback of Notre Dame), 101 DALMATIANS THE MUSICAL will transport audiences to a slightly topsy-turvy, exciting, and altogether fantastic reality that gives grand license for song, dance and spectacle in a one-of-a-kind show that will leave everyone cheering.

In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Bill and Kimpy,

Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful home inspection experience. You were both so thorough, and we appreciated the time you took making sure everything was good to go on our new house. It was so helpful to be able to see the pictures at the end of the inspection with all the things you found, and then to have the report emailed to us the same day. You were not only professional, but very personable and friendly as well. We will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of your services. Thank you again!

Nashville TN Home Inspector’s Findings

Bill Collins — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:02:34 +0000

Concrete foundation footings can be found exposed when the drainage around the structure or the gutters are clogged allowing water to penetrate the foundation washing dirt away from the footings. After a period of time the footings become weak resulting in cracked and settling foundation and interior/exterior walls. Ultra Sound Home Inspections recommends keeping the gutters clean and installing gutter screens when needed. The ground slope around the perimeter of the structure should also slope at a rate of 1/2″ per 6 feet to allow proper drainage away from the foundation walls.

Home Inspector Discovers High Water Pressure

Bill Collins — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:06:43 +0000

High water pressure is often found in older homes or houses built in certain jurisdictions that do not require a water pressure regulator to be installed. High water pressure can rupture your washing machine hoses, damage you dish washer and toilet valves, and cost you extra $$ on your utility bills. Regulators can be purchased at the local hardware store for approximately $30.00 and should be installed on the incoming water line on the house side of the main shut off valve.

Nashville TN, Bent Electrical Service Mast

Bill Collins — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 21:34:00 +0000

Electrical Service Mast (metal pipe from meter to in Tcoming wires) often get bent when the power lines leading from the structure to the the electric pole become tight from either the power lines interfering with tree limbs during high wind or ice storms. If the pipe is significantly bent, it will need replaced by an electrician at the expense of the home owner. This can also create an unsafe condition. Power lines should be kept clear to prevent this costly damage from occuring.

Nashville TN, Missing Attic Insulation

Bill Collins — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:28:27 +0000

Why should new homes be inspected? Attic insulation was found missing over the living room in a hard to get area in the attic. The entire ceiling was found exposed which would have cost the new home owner tons of money in their heating and cooling bill. Attic insulation should be at a minimum depth of 10″ though out the attic floor.

Franklin TN Inspector Finds Poorly Installed Foundation Piers

Bill Collins — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:30:56 +0000

The purpose of foundation piers are to help transfer the weight of a structure to the earth. Improperly installed piers can cause settlement to the walls and floor structure as well as cracks in the sheetrock walls. They can also be responible for interior doors that are difficult to open and close.

Masonry Foundation Piers should be placed on dug out and poured concrete footings. Any shims placed on top of the piers should be either 2×6 treated lumber or 4×4 inch thin metal shims designed for this application.
