Forensics for you!

Ah, it's been quite a while since I have had time to hit the old blog - but it won't stop me today! I'm excited to be able to get out and go golfing for the third time this week, but more excited to get out and meet more of the other's family this weekend for the fourth of july!

Onward to the important stuff...

Now more than ever it seems that efficiency is the target of nearly everybody that owns, well, anything. People are very keen on saving dollars by adding insulation around their doors, or using a hypothermic mat on their porch. The problem is, however, when somebody decides to save some cash by doing something hazardous, such as installing a heating stove on their own when they don't really know what they are doing. Sometimes stoves have a tendency to be used, and when the flute is not correctly installed...sometimes things catch on fire. Anyways, you probably know what I'm getting at here. Basically, this is why there is a need for forensics. When a house is burned down, a whole lot of evidence is suddenly mangled or destroyed. It's very difficult to be able to make a certain assessment of whether or not something that was destroyed in a fire was initially constructed properly.
