Mike Lamb Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 This vacant house had red tape throughout whenever there was a transition in flooring. I don't know why.

Trent Tarter Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I would guess a legally blind person was living in home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Readily visible sign of a transition in flooring material. I'm with Trent. Someone needed extra help in seeing the transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 No, it is a common practice for foreclosed houses. any rip or tear or uneven transition is marked. Of course the preservation company is paid per instance, so often there are several per house. Think trip and fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Did the house belong to the Government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 It was a foreclosure. Thanks for the remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just like those 2x4 thrown together guards I've seen on foreclosed house porches and steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Simon Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Readily visible sign of a transition in flooring material. I'm with Trent. Someone needed extra help in seeing the transitions. We've had both a dog and a cat that would hesitate, for about 20 seconds, at any floor-covering transition. For some reason, they didn't want to step onto a different floor covering. They would both gently probe/paw the new covering before assuring themselves it way okay to make the next step.

hausdok Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hell, that's not a bad idea. I can't begin to count the number of times I've almost busted my ass walking through someone's strange home during an inspection and hooked a toe. Maybe I need to start doing that before commencing inspections so that my bifocals will pick up the transition better. On the other hand, vertical is overrated. I feel better in horizontal mode - if I don't have to move, that is. Just do my best impression of a torpid python that's just fed. Probably couldn't get away with persuading folks to pay me to inspect houses from that position though. (Sigh) ONE DOUGHNUT - ONE BITE!!!
