While performing home inspections in Central Kentucky, I sometimes  see things I just have to share with others.  A lot of them defy belief such as this one I found in an attic yesterday while doing a Lexington, KY home inspection. 

Air conditioning duct work in attics need to be supported.  Especially those made from duct board.  If they are not supported, they come loose at the joints and all your conditioned air flows out into the attic.

Here's an example of a duct board duct that wasn't properly supported by the original installer.  Apparently, it came loose and started blowing most of the conditoned air into the attic instead of the house.
Homeowner Solution - Christmas wrapping paper

A three pack no less.  Erby - The Central Kentucky Home Inspector Chirstmas wrapping paper as duct supportI wonder what will happen to the ductwork when Christmas rolls around, the stores are closed, and the owner still needs more wrapping paper!   Any bets?

Here's what a couple of B4 U Close clients say: (Clicki the line above to see others)

I think the current owners are a little angry about the thorough inspection you did. They didn't have one done and it cost them $18K.  I, my loan officer and my agent think a home inspection is well worth what I paid.

Nathan, Morehead, KY Inspection  (20101012B)

Thank You for the outstanding job you did on the inspection.  We bought and sold 9 houses and this was the only inspection that was ever done properly.  It was helpful and we will use it to do the repairs with a system, instead of the guess work we usually do.  Thanks again

Any Duct in a storm, or any port in a storm, or was it any wrapping paper in a storm? I am so confused!

I bet that was a quick grab that was out of site, and out of mind!

You never know what you're going to find is correct.  Some of the are really quite funny.

I've put several of them up on my website at www.b4uclose.com under Cockamamie photos.

Some funny stuff, mostly mine, but some I had to beg usage on, they were just too good to pass up.
