Lordy, lordy this church is moldy. This is under an 85-year-old church.

Tennis, anyone?

First, it was a grocery-bag-toilet-filler valve repair, now it is a tennis-ball-filler valve repair.

Call security
Knife.jpg
The knife is serving as the “security sytem” at the back door in the kitchen. Notice the keypad for the central
security system mounted on the wall. The service was not activated. Why pay a monthly fee when the knife is free?

U-turn
Trapped.jpg
Just when you think you have seen it all … This new “sideways” trap installation allows for much more storage under the sink, as long as you don’t mind a little sewer gas smell!

Cooking and cleaning
Dishwasher.jpg
I love my job. Always something new. I have NEVER seen this before — a dishwasher installed directly under an electric cook top. You can cook and wash dishes at the same time!

All wet
Flood.jpg
It was raining when I arrived to inspect this house, but there was something strange about the water dripping off the siding. I held my hand under it and it was hot. The heating pipes had split. Because I was 45 minutes early to the inspection, I had to call the real estate agent and get the code to get in and shut off the water. The house was flooded.
