Check with the AHJ. It looks like a large auto rubber gas line.

I also write them up. Never seen anyone change them.

Here is one from todays inspection. Vent-less gas logs; open to the living room, dining room and kitchen and the only return. Brandon, what did you end up writing about your set up? Click to Enlarge 45.45 KB

I like it. It helps when I am doing a new home and I can drop it into the report.

More that likely I would write it up. I would need a little more info than just the photo. Here is what the IRC says. M1602.2 Prohibited sources. Outdoor and return air for a forced-air heating or cooling system shall not be taken from the following locations: 1. Closer than 10 feet (3048 mm) to an appliance vent outlet, a vent opening from a plumbing drainage system or the discharge outlet of an exhaust fan, unless the outlet is 3 feet (914 mm) above the outside air inlet. 2. Where flammable vapors are present; or where located less than 10 feet (3048 mm) above the surface of any abutting public way or driveway; or where located at grade level by a sidewalk, street, alley or driveway. 3. A room or space, the volume of which is less than 25 percent of the entire volume served by such system. Where connected by a permanent opening having an area sized in accordance with ACCA Manual D, adjoining rooms or spaces shall be considered as a single room or space for the purpose of determining the volume of such rooms or spaces. Exception: The minimum volume requirement shall not apply where the amount of return air taken from a room or space is less than or equal to the amount of supply air delivered to such room or space. 4. A closet, bathroom, toilet room, kitchen, garage, mechanical room, furnace room or other dwelling unit. 5. A room or space containing a fuel-burning appliance where such room or space serves as the sole source of return air. Exceptions: 1.

The room or space complies with the following requirements: 2.1.

The volume of supply air discharged back into the same space shall be approximately equal to the volume of return air taken from the space. 2.3. Return-air inlets shall not be located within 10 feet (3048 mm) of any appliance firebox or draft hood in the same room or space. 3.

In my areas the starter strip and shingles hang over a half inch or more. My understanding is to let the water drip off the shingles into the gutter or on to the ground. Over an inch is too much. This could let the wind blow the shingle up. IMHO

To me it looks to be Trocal (PVC). AT the curbs was the flashing metal with a coating on it that looked like the roof?

You know you can't see that stuff as you drive by.[:-dev3]

I would recommend a railing to be installed

I have posted an report in the past and I was glad to take my lumps. It helped me on some of the way I write up some items. And as for as WJ, I want him to hang around and put in his thoughts.

Scott, You just used them in a sentence. Now I am looking them up.

The big black wire is not connected to the bus bar. It turn down and runs behind the red wire. There is a small black wire that runs from the bus bar on the main panel to the lug that the bare copper wires are connected it.

If not, and it's only cutting power to one conductor, that's a whole bunch more dangerous than having no switch at all. Richard, You are right about that.

It goes to the interior panel Click to Enlarge 46.07 KB

I think the panel on the right was added when they changed to a heat pump in 1987. I listed a few things I found wrong with it and wrote to have the items repaired along with anything else the electrician found.

This switch that is on the wall close to the laundry plumbing was turn off and I turn it on to see what it turned on. Click to Enlarge 34.28 KB I looked around and could not see any light that it turn on. It turn out it controlled the power supply to the water heater which was in the store room behind the laundry. It does not look like a 240 volt switch.
