House Inspection Woes

Someone emailed me this PowerPoint file of House inspection finds. I busted it up into Jpegs for the PowerPoint deprived.
I will not take responsibility for any homemade inventions spawned from this thread.

Note: if someone can tell me the technic to having my text show to the top of the post and the uploaded show pictures below, I'll be thankful. ... Thanks robbin See Profile

I'll like to nominate the candidate for Picture #11
Its a very tidy installation job, but I don't think I can get drunk enough to set foot in it.

The first house I bought in 1974 had a shower with a light installed in it. The switch wasn't in the shower, however it was in the neutral so the light fixture was always hot.

Easy -- every upload is a different attachment. Where ever you want one of the attachments to be you insert the following

[attachment=1]

Now this would be for the first attachment. Replace the numeral 1 with the number of the attachment you want placed at that location for subsequent attachments.

These seem to be the same ones off the "Home Inspection Nightmares" Site on This Old House:
»www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/info/0,···,00.html

There you go, 13 cringworthy albums of pics. Each album has around 17 pics, so there is quite abit to look at!

Cripes! I've had nightmares about my new home looking somewhat like these.

I crawled through our present house with the pre-purchase inspector. It was worth it not having to wait for the report.

I'll give a couple of those points for creativity.

The scary ones are the 1-year old house pictures ... and those passed a recent inspection. What else wasn't done correctly that was missed?

When it comes time to hire experts, these are the guys.

Their forte is "Networking Components: Selection, Placement, and Wiring."

Their portfolio is both extensive and impressive. Please allow ample time for the site to fully load before scrolling down through the many pages showing their expertise.

Hmmm...I worked on an apartment complex where the plumber forgot to install the drains for all the bathtubs.

And nobody noticed until AFTER the pad was poured.

Get out the sledgehammers!

Thanks for posting. I don't think I've laughed so hard at anything on the internet EVER! My husband had to come out of his game room to see what I was laughing so hard about!

Is that actually supposed to be their "portfolio of work?"

Looked more like the network infrastructure @ Chernobyl nuclear plant.
