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.
So Colorful!
These folks got out their Tinker Toys to make this insane water heater connection.
All of This is Bad
That’s what the Inspector who found this said.

So Many Questions
You sometimes see a beer can in the crawl space, but sour cream and what looks like … a baked potato? How? Why?
Stop It
Wouldn’t you love to meet the brainiac who, rather than running more wiring, decided to DRILL A HOLE through the brick?
Hopefully, you’re laughing with us, and not thinking, “Hey, that looks familiar.” But if you’ve got some crazy connections or wacky wiring around the house, you can #AskAHomeInspector anytime, by setting up a Home Health Checkup.
