Dude, it's a sight to behold.

My brother's old room has blue shag carpet, looks like a cookie monster rug.

[haleyann]

OH MY GOD that wallpaper.... it's delightful!

Dat's and at the same time.

Melons mom's house is incredible, love it and hate it at the same time but it's definitely something I'd never seen before.

[rockchops]

Also friend of mine bought a literal stable from the 1700s, I gotta take some pics. Last time I was in there I blasted the bathroom and remember it had wallpaper that said "egg butt snagglebit" which is some uppity horse term.

[Calvinball]

Wow dat momma melón abode.

I've seen stuff like that in my house searches, but never in that quantity.

Countertop measurements tomorrow.
New appliances get delivered Thursday.
This week they'll just be trimming out the new cabinet installations with hardware and such.

Almost there.

So, first things first, before getting into the inspection.

Here's a pano of the gayrage:

So the good: pretty much everything is newer. Roof, furnace, water heater, electrical, windows, all updated and done so recently. The electric was probably the oldest update, more on that later. Other stuff looks to all be 3-7 years old.The house has a full house fan, which according to @[user not found] and our inspector is the tits, and explains no a/c. They also put a little duct with a small electrical fan from the den with the fireplace to the second floor. Nifty.

There's some minor stuff. All the toilets need to wax rings. A couple of the steps to the second floor need to be repaired, unfortunately from underneath meaning going through the ceiling in the basement.

The minor to moderate stuff: A whole bunch of outlets have reverse polarity. He suspected that happened when it was upgraded from 2 prong to 3 prong. There's 200 amp electrical, but the breaker box was upgraded from 100. There might be an issue with crowded slim circuits. He thinks it's probably fine but would like an electrician to eyeball it. There's two outdoor outlets, one isn't grounded and the other had no power.

The biggies: The firewall in the gayrage isn't complete in the loft area. Technically against code cause it backs up to living space (the den). The real sticker is the radon test though. Limit is 4, it came back 4.2.

I also has a whole house fan and it is fantastic, especially in the evenings when it cools down and you can bring in all that cool air really helps a lot. Regarding the bolded, we had a bunch of those, too. It took me probably an hour, max, going from outlet to outlet swapping the wires. It was also a good way to label your circuit breakers as you go through them killing the appropriate circuits.

NBD, in other words.

Radon is bad shit. Easily addressed but causes 21,000 cases of lung cancer annually and it's the small cell deep kind that you're fucked by no matter what.

How do you address it?

I don't mind it since it's cheap.
