Looking back at the last few week’s columns, we’ve been pretty serious and educational lately. And while we do hope to provide our readers with helpful knowledge and tips for both their current homes and the home buying and selling process, we also enjoy providing a window into the wacky things people do in their homes that we get to see and chuckle about in the crawl space.
The things that make home inspectors laugh out loud may not be the same as people who don’t look at houses all day, but these #HomeInspectionFinds will make most handy homeowners LOL.

Points For Creativity

Tenants Are Hard On A House
This is a home where the seller has had a tenant living in the home. “Be a landlord,” they said, “It’s a great investment,” they said. 😱
We hope you find humor in some of these #HomeInspectionFinds. If you find something that looks familiar, “Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.” – Dame Edna Everage.
