I guess it is telling of the times when builders only put one extremely small overhead light in the garage. I guess most people these days don't have a functioning workbench used for repairing things.

Most older homes, especially those from the '50s through the 1970s, typically have sufficient lighting for capable people to perform repairs.

As a home inspector in Baton Rouge, I see the best and the worst living conditions.

Locking your kids in their rooms is a first to me and really solidified that I am not a bad parent.

Clearly these doors were intended for children, as was the chain lock on the pantry door and all of the crayon drawings on the walls.

Not only is this cruel, it is dangerous. You must be able to get out of the bedroom if there is an emergency.

Wouldn't you love to rent a home that has 0 insulation in the attic? I doubt you would.

All three units in this tri-plex were uncomfortably warm even with the ac units running continuously.

Why would you do that to your tenants and put that much more strain an your HVAC equipment?

When I asked for more soffit vents, the contractor must have been getting annoyed at my pickiness. He really went for it.

There were only 2 soffit vents on both the front and rear of the home. Now there are about 30.

It's getting deceptively warm outside these days with the mornings being still quite pleasant.

This house had an attic that was unbearable hot.... Insulation was never installed above the ceiling in about 200 square feet and there was no ventilation on the roof. The hot could not get out which caused the interior temperature of the attic to be 134 degrees... Ridiculous.

The heat had nowhere to go but through the ceiling.

Also, the ac unit hasn't been cleaned since it was installed 3 years ago, which caused the house actually get hotter during the 3 hour inspection even though the unit never cycled off once.

Maintenance people... Maintenance.

The season is starting of insanely busy and we are just getting started. I like being busy but man, this is getting crazy.

I can't say that I have ever seen this much knob and tube wiring in a house. And that is saying something as I inspect a tremendous amount of older homes in downtown Baton Rouge, LA.

With the way homeowners insurance is being picky these days, this has to be removed.

The client got a quote of $4200/year for insurance if it stays and $1200 if it is removed. That is $3000 a year.

An electricia!n quoted $11,600 to completely rewire the house. That is an ROI of 4 years... A fantastic investment on all accounts.

Don't buy an old house with getting it inspected.

2 water heaters in 1 house both had disconnected flues. The CO alarm went off in the past and the landlord disabled the alarms.

An inspector walked around the inside of the home and said there was nothing wrong.

Just because the home you are purchasing is +$600,000, don't be fooled into thinking all is well.
