Erby Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My head was just a few inches from the top of the panel while trying to reach the far screws. When I saw something jump out of the top of the panel, it did "startle" me a bit. Click to Enlarge 69.67 KB The ladies accompanying me reacted a bit more verbally and physically. Though they did come back in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 A good reason to call out open knock-outs in the electric panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 No, but the seller got real woozy and came close to passing out when she saw the picture of the poor little old spider in the crawl space.

Tom Raymond Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I found a mouse nest in a panel. I went to get a pail so I could remove it and returned to find the home owner vacuuming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 This reminds me of a poem by one of my faves, Billy Collins. The Country by Billy Collins I wondered about you when you told me never to leave a box of wooden, strike-anywhere matches lying around the house because the mice might get into them and start a fire. But your face was absolutely straight when you twisted the lid down on the round tin where the matches, you said, are always stowed. Who could sleep that night? Who could whisk away the thought of the one unlikely mouse padding along a cold water pipe behind the floral wallpaper gripping a single wooden match between the needles of his teeth? Who could not see him rounding a corner, the blue tip scratching against a rough-hewn beam, the sudden flare, and the creature for one bright, shining moment suddenly thrust ahead of his time? now a fire-starter, now a torchbearer in a forgotten ritual, little brown druid illuminating some ancient night. Who could fail to notice, lit up in the blazing insulation, the tiny looks of wonderment on the faces of his fellow mice, onetime inhabitants of what once was your house in the country?

kurt Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Jim, I'm amazed there's another home inspector who knows who Billy Collins is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
