OK, today it was around 90f outside and this was an afternoon inspection! I had a feeling that I was going to find a few problems in the attic just with what I had found inside the home. The attic was around 130f and the water heater and vent pipe that I wanted to look at were a good 25' from the entrance (another issue)! It was kind of like that crawlspace that you just don't want to go to that far side, but you have that gut feeling.
The first picture is a water heater with a "B" vent pipe that is a little short. They made the difference up with aluminium duct tape!
The next is the underside of a vent pipe boot. The boot was split and leaking so the owner filled the underside of it with Great Stuff foam!
