BASEMENT HORROR SHOW
had to share this with all------first time home owners----25 years old two kids--6 and 7---1999 home with what they call a finished basement---yeah from hell

first off the furnace access panels were restricted by a wall seven inches in front of it--so who knows the last time anyone even saw the filter---and there was a open ground outlet directly in front of furnace in drywall

next the finished floor was nailed or whatever right to basement floor---where is the floater----

every and i mean every outlet was upside down and either open ground or reverse polarity

last but not least---and i am mold certified {ESA}--the basement bath was rotted with mold--that affected the inner rooms and door trim--mold like substance--for sure

I KNOW HI ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO ADDRESS CODE VIOLATION--but i am not stevie wonder or helen keller---i told client to call city hall and pull the permits------

i this young couple ran and was i ever happy---and guess what the buyer agent thanked me

left out--this is a bank owned--u know as is---the listing {GIVE ME THE MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING} agent told me he had the house de-winterized----well it wasn't as usual around here--he told me just turn the water on ----well i called the buying agent and the listing slug and with the clients in front of me ---asked for a disclaimer on any damage when water came on---you know the rest big leak under dishwasher so now kitchen wood floor is ruined and likewiase basement ceiling underneath

this justifys me charging additional $50-75 when i hearbank owned property-----they suck--but thats life
what do u think
