Inspection of a Home Inspectors Home
What did I find,

FPE panel in a clothes closet
NOT one GFCI anywhere
Open junctions everywhere
3 cracked windows
Garage attic obstructed by articles in garage
Electrical cover missing on condensing unit
Furnace flue disconnected in attic space
Corrosion on WH shutoff valve
NO T&P drain line connected to WH
3 inches of insulation
Carpenter ants
Anti reverse failed on garage door
Lock on garage door
Glass panel door to the garage from kitchen
Dryer vent crushed at exterior wall
No threshold on garage entry door
Master shower enclosure leaked
Every toilet loose at the floor
Corrosion on the drains below the sinks
Poor drainage at the sewer
High soil around the foundation / soil sloped towards home
+4 on the openings on the railings around the pool
7 steps to the pool deck with no handrail

NO deal killers you might say.

Conclusion: This HI must be busier than I would ever want to be to not have time to fix a few things before listing the home.

This was his garage. Guess he didn't want me in the attic.
