Have a few concrete sealing jobs lined up, and possibly a few more. Cold temps now, so want to make sure the concrete is at the appropriate temperature, by using an infrared temperature gun. Does this require anything fancy, or would a middle of the road gun be sufficient? For instance, something like this highly reviewed one: [url]https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-1080-Non-contact-Thermometer/dp/B00DMI632G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482478154&sr=8-3&keywords=infrared+temperature+gun[/url] Thanks! :wave:

This house had foundation repair with 6 pilings sunk deep in the ground to level the house. I notice there is about a 1/2" gap under the brick facade and the foundation slab across the back of the house about 6 feet. Leaves are halfway under and lots of ants/bugs. The sidewalk along the back is sloped away from the house so water isn't rushing or pooling for very long. Rain gutters direct rain off roof to and the end of house. But in heavy downpour with wind blowing rain towards the house, it is definitely going to get wet. I was wondering if I should fill in this gap or should I just leave it open? My home inspector before purchase didn't mention this (maybe didn't notice as he did poor inspection--he refunded my money after I complained about all the things I discovered after closing that he missed). I was thinking about stuffing some round foam caulk saver under there. Don't know if I should try sealing it up or leave it open.
