Wandering
Obviously, these chickens are lost. Having
wandered away from home, the birds turned up on
Raeford's Fifth Avenue. They must have decided to
ask directions from the owners of this home.
Sometime later, the birds were gone. They might
have found a map.

I Protect home with inspections
Buying and owning a home to
day is a big investment.
The best way to protect that in
vestment is by keeping your home
in good condition - and not just on
the inside.
A regular program of inspec
tions or audits can help you iden
tify and correct problems before
they become serious.
Start at the top
The first stop on your exterior
audit is the roof. As the First line of
defense against the elements, the
roof should form a water-tight
shield over your home. Next to
siding, it is also your home's most
significant visual component.
The condition of your roof is
usually related to its age. If the
roof is more than IS years old,
chances are it's beginning to show
signs of wear.
Most roofing problems start
with the shingles - the exposed sur
face of the roof. You'll need to
check them carefully. Begin your
inspection on the ground, using a
good pair of field glasses. Here's
what to look for.
-Curled, cracked, blistered
shingles or shingles that have a
shiny appearance. This is usually
an indication that the shingles'
asphalt coating - its waterproofing
element ? is drying out.
?Lifted, torn or missing shingles.
Pay particular attention in all this
to the "hip" shingles - those at the
peak of the house. Of all the

Front Burner!

shingles on your roof, they are the
most vulnerable and often the first
to show signs of wear.
?Balding shingles - those that are
losing their protective coat of
mineral granules. Some loss of
granules is natural. An excessive
loss, however, exposes the water
proofing asphalt to the drying ac
tion of the sun. The best way to
gauge granule loss is by inspecting
the gutters. Granules are heavier
than water and tend to collect
there. Remember, you're looking
for excessive granule loss.
?Damaged flashing. This is the
metal or asphalt roofing material
around chimneys, vent pipes and
in the roofs valleys. It should be
water tight. Check for cracks, gaps
or pin-hole leaks. Also check for
dry, cracked or missing caulking
around the flashing.
Whether or not you find any of
these problems, it's still a good
idea to check the underside of your
roof for leaks. Go into the attic
with a flashlight during a storm.
Better yet, have someone create an
artificial storm by hosing down the
roof. Look for water marks, drips
or signs of a leaky roof.
Be alert, though. Water tends to
follow sheathing or rafters before
falling to the floor. Follow the trail
of water back to its source. That's
where the real leak is.

more on maintenance of your
home.
