The kitchen facilities were functional. The bathroom, on the other hand, was in need of improvement. What a house!

At a vacant house under foreclosure, I found this
partially melted paint  bucket behind and close to a wood stove with a cracked back panel. You don’t think they were … ? Nah!

This domicile was not part of my inspection; however, I thought the builder should be complimented for good site selection and creative use of available materials.

Talk about wind in the Northwest! Get a load of these photos. I took them after inspecting a couple of nearby new homes.

As a not-so-handy homeowner was re-plumbing his house, he thought he would save some money on fittings by heating the PVC drain pipe with a torch to make a 45 degree bend.

Eau de sewer

During one of my inspections, I found this behind an access panel in a basement. Duct tape and a terry
cloth towel really didn’t stop the smell of the sewer gas.
