Awake 5:56 am Temp downtown 31 6 hrs 36 min of daylight
We stay home today & I like it. Besides, our home inspection is scheduled
for early afternoon.
@ 12:30 Woody arrives to accompany the inspector Jim, who arrives 15 min
later.
Jim is a part time fireman & does this service on the side. He starts in
our kitchen & right off, we realize this guy is very thorough. All kitchen
appliances passed with no problem. He opened every cabinet door, drawer,
cranked out each window, turned on both ovens, turned on each burner on
the stove, microwave, bun warmer, Jen air grill, garbage disposal, instant
hot water unit, ran the dishwasher, the exhaust fan, worked the timers
etc. Then he lifted nearly every overhead plastic lighting panel to check
on each of the 16 fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling. He brought his own
electrical testing equipment & checked for GFIC breakers within 6 feet of
our sink(new code) & we were marked up on that item. He kept up this
strict inspection for each & every room, closet, equipment room & both
garages for the next 3 hrs. He also climbed up into both of our attic
areas. What a guy! I was impressed. The perfect inspector for a
buyer....not so for the seller tho.
Total write ups: 13. Most being the new electrical code which changed
since we've owned this house. He did find a loose toilet in our brown
bathroom however and I was glad for that...I had no idea. This could have
been a serious item if it hadn't been caught early.
Meanwhile, during the inspection, Woody says he was thinking of how many
items they will have in their house that won't pass inspection when they
do decide to sell.
6:30 Dinner: Fresh frozen Tuna, apple cranberry wild rice, broccoli, &
fresh salad.
Evening time: Read & casual talk in living room near the fireplace.
Lights out: 11:07 pm
