Ted,

"you better inspect everything in the home for codes"

How come?

Sounds like the old argument put forth that 'if you inspect one thing for code, you need to inspect it all for code' - but that was never applicable, just like ...

Does that mean that if you report one safety item you have to inspect for all safety items (that would be worse than trying to do an after-the-fact "code inspection"?

Does that mean that if you report one electrical item you have to inspect all electrical items?

Does that mean that if you report one expected life you have to report expected lives for all items?

The list would be endless.

That concept is also full of holes once you think about it in terms of 'if you do this once, you have to this for everything'.

No, you can inspect *ONE THING* for "code" and not have to inspect anything else for "code".

I can see it now, in the general comments is listed 'weather conditions' and 'no rain' or 'sunny', and now the report must be a meteorological report on the weather at that time?
