Inspection Finds That Will Make You Say ‘Bless Your Heart’
Share News:
Some folks believe that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all. In Texas, if we don’t have anything nice to say, we say, “Bless Your Heart.” It follows that when in the field, home inspectors occasionally come across certain things that make them smile, shake their head, and render them speechless — except for that age-old Texas saying.
Case in point: the water heater in the image above. The homeowners apparently got out their Tinker Toys to connect the water lines. Bless Their Hearts.
Here are a few other examples from the field:
Shouldn’t Be A Problem
Can’t think why it would be an issue to have the switch controlling the lights to the primary bedroom in another room. Not inconvenient at all. Why not have a standing invitation for children to prank their parents? This smacks of one of those DIY electrical jobs we like so much here at Upon Closer Inspection. Bless Their Hearts.
Top-Tier Appliances
Oh dear. Are they using this dishwasher? Hope everyone is up to date on their tetanus shots. While dishwashers can last 10-15 years, they require proper care and maintenance. Old appliances can hide failed seals, leaks, and contamination risks. This one needs to be sent to the appliance graveyard, stat. Bless Their Hearts.
Meticulous Labeling
You may have to look twice before you see it. This homeowner carefully and painstakingly labeled each switch with the correct labels … but those pesky numbers. Bless Their Hearts.
Tell Me You Did Your Own Renovation Without Telling Me You Did Your Own Renovation
I mean … LOL. Bless Their Hearts.
Not everyone can be an expert, and if we can’t laugh at ourselves, well, life would get awfully boring. If you’re looking for a home inspector to catch all these silly (and not so silly) issues before you move in, be sure to give us a call. And Bless Your Heart.
