Hi Jim, Great report. You are living proof that this job does not get easier as you get older. It is the one business where the longer you work, the more you learn and the longer the inspection process takes. I have some questions/comments for you. I noticed that you did not mention that the crawlspace vents were level with or below grade. You did not find this worth mentioning? Also, even though the woodstove was obsolete,you didnt mention its clearance from the walls (but you mentioned the clearance of its flue pipe). Maybe it was just the camera angle but that stove looked mighty close to that wall. Also, is that a pvc pipe coming off of that water heater? You mentioned bad wiring in the attic but you didn't mention anything about the crawlspace. It looked like some poorly supported stuff in the crawl space. Is that the kind of stuff you report about or is it so normal that it is generally ignored? If you had the right batteries with you would you have installed them and tested the heater? I am surprised the client didn't run down to the 7-11 for some. Once again, great job. Very good example of following the standards.
