Grant County Home Inspection, Issues Happen

By
Home Inspector with Eastern WA Home Inspections, LLC

Some times our Moses lake inspection team has to stop and wonder "what were they thinking".

Paying attention to the details is a lot of what Home inspectors do, and here we can see a door latch installed backwards.With the latch installed this way the door cannot properly shut, maybe this is a new anti-lock installation:).

Not all the items our Grant county Home Inspectors find take a rocket scientist to identify, but they are still concerns that need to be addressed. Many of the report items noted on our Inspection reports are simple fixes like this door latch. These items seem minor but in this case is it minor if you need to shut this door?

Back to the installer, I wonder what was going on that distracted them enough to install this backwards, maybe behind schedule, distracted by coworkers, who knows but these things happen and happen often. Did they notice the problem after they were finished and just moved on like Sergeant Shultz, "I see nothing, I know nothing"!

This is an Item Eastern WA Home Inspections, LLC Inspectors report on so our clients have the information, and can get them fixed or at least know that the door is not going to shut properly for them.

Dennis, it makes it hard to slam the door shut without breaking something too :)

Charles, it would make a mess of the door to slam it for sure.

Steve, It does look good doesn't it. Grant County also was lacking in my blogs. This post put me on that page also. I'll keep working at it. Thanks for all you have done to help.

I also did a little house cleaning, worked on my profile and added the header and signature to this blog.

The fact that you notice the small things means you probably notice other things some would miss.

Dennis, Great catch (or Latch). Little details like this is just good information for the home buyer.
