You will have to check with the AHJ. They can allow this. I know they allow it where the vent is run in/under the slab foundation but not in other areas of the house like out of the wall or the roof. It would not be allowed like it is run in your photos in my area, but I have seen it done.

The hot and cold water is reversed in the bathroom. That may be the reason they changed the plumbing for the toilet. under the sink they had rerouted the plastic hook up lines. The tub was still reversed.

It would indeed. Banked owned buyer getting a good deal as he says. Fungus going on the walls from what he was told that the water heater leaked and cause the problem and they had the water heater replace. The thing is the water heater is a 1996 model and a lot of rust in the burn chamber and the vent pipe is disconnected in the attic. The buyer has been watching some of these fix them up shows and was going to repair it his self.

No photos?

I agree with Chris, it is a splice shingle. I have seen a few. I had some on one house that the realtor called and complained why I was reporting that the shingles where damage, the inspector which is one of the realtors friend type did not report them when he did an inspection there three weeks before. Of course you could not see them from the ground.

This is from yesterday inspection. For some unknown reason someone disconnected the toilet from it supply line and run the supply from the sink. Click to Enlarge 35.24 KB Click to Enlarge 34.12 KB

Jeez Phillip, And here I thought you were my friend. You guys have no idea how much time it takes to upload some of this stuff. The more I do it, the more tired I get of doing it. I've got mountains of crap to upload and no time or energy left to do it. However, it you're feeling frisky and bushy-tailed, go for it. The brethren will be everlastingly grateful. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Mike, I am your friend. And I appreciate on the hard work that you do to keep us informed. I don't know how you find the time to do all you do. I don't have the code to up load even if I was feeling frisky and bushy-tailed, which I am not.

I do inform my clients about the changes in the building standards over the years and tell tell that they might want to make some of these changes for their safety and this is a upgrade that they more than likely will have to do for their self since the house was built on the standard being used at the time the house was built.

I guess that I would like to know more about how they where suppose to have been built back then. To know more about the way the building standard has changed

Man, it would be nice if all of those older codes where in TIJ down load area.[:-eyebrow

What is the chimney connected to?

When you inspect crap you find crap.

Thanks Mike for the kind words, I hope to shake your hand one of these day and I will get the second round.

With out looking under the shingles you cannot make finds like theses Most roof in my area have shingles that not stuck to each other and can be blown off.

Erby, I have a few chasing me. The type that want me to take care of them for the rest of their life. For some reason they thing HI make a bunch of money. I am chasing the ones that can take care of me.

There is two more white wires you cannot see. They are on the back side of the white thing and run into the ground. There where no out door lighting and it was what I would call a parking area for a boat. I told my client that I had no ideal what it was and told him he may want check with the owner or the builder since the bank owns it.

it is a poorly poured drive that ends beside the house. It looks like it was added after the house was built. I don't have a better shot. it goes to the right of the house down the hill. Click to Enlarge 90.8 KB

Happy B-day Chad. I hope you have a good one. Its all down hill now.[:-grumpy][][:-sleep][:-weepn]

Well Scott, me have seen one of those things here in Bama.[:-dev3][]

I am a little on the bored side. Inspection on the slow side and chasing women has worn me out. Makes me eat and drank too much. I seen the ladders and thought I would let the newer inspectors know where a good deal is. I love my 21 footer and 13 footer. I would hate to be with out them. But to each their own.

I was in Walmart the other day and they had the 13 ft Costco for $79.

I have found grow-ops before. I think I posted some photos from the one I found in the back of a crawlspace. To me there is not enough signs for me to call this a grow-op. I just reported about the outlet, ropes being there for some unknown reason and the gable end vent needing repair.

Yeah, I would like to see WJ back here. He was a big help when it came to wording. He was a help on other things too.

I wonder if I should report this as a grow-op?[:-monkeyd Added plug in attic Click to Enlarge 60.95 KB Ropes tied to joist and other items. Click to Enlarge 57.19 KB Another photo of the plug, Click to Enlarge 52.15 KB
