I went on a home inspection in the wonderful city of Rialto yesterday. Take a look at these pictures.The home was built in 2000. A 4 bedroom home with 3 baths and 1875 square feet of living space. The home inspection went well. One small leak at a sink trap in the bath room. The home was also missing a AC condenser that was removed by previous owner. The shocking part of the home inspection was in the main electrical panel. Where the previous owner had bootlegged in a 2 pole 60 amp breaker to feed power the the AC equipment. When I say bootlegged, I mean illegally feed the breaker from the Edison side of the panel. Two wires were installed on to the lugs that the electric utility uses to feed the homes power supply. In essence the past home owner was bypassing the meter and stealing power. I was most surprised that when the electric company was called to turn on the power they didn't even notice that the plastic lock that goes on the cover to this section of the panel was removed by the previous home owner.

It takes a lot to surprise home inspectors! I am surprised the previous homeowner did not correct that before the home inspection.
