On a recent inspection, I found a projection TV mounted to the bottom of a garage door opener. Most inspectors probably are not aware of this projection TV upgrade at Liftmaster. Vehicle garage door can only be opened during commercials or halftime!

Do you think this water heater chimney vent is too close to the house, soffit or window?

Where is the electrical panel? Just open the first cabinet and try to guess where it might be.

I found this live 220-line feeding a distant garage. At some point, the kids ripped off the cover to a junction box and had the wires out and damaged. I went over to test with a voltage detector and saw that the wires were burned, but still live.
