Do Not Open Door

 

One of the interesting aspects of being a home inspector… Is that you never know what the next home inspection may bring.

Most of my unusual photos come from the garage or under the house.

It’s not too often that a sign is posted on a bedroom door: “Do Not open or touch this door Very important that you follow this request Do Not Touch!! Thank You!!”

Many things come to mind… If the house is occupied and there’s a Do Not Open sign on a door… does it mean there’s something in the room that will come after you?... Or a madman sleeping inside?

The sign says: Do Not Open or Touch and the word ‘touch’ is mentioned twice… Does this mean that the door knob is rigged to electricity or explosives?

Some time, it’s better not to open a door… Why? Watch the video: Do Not Open and see for yourself.

Did I open the door?... Yes, I did and I lived to write this blog.

video is cute...but, afterall, if you're on a submarine, you'd kind of expect the water on the other side!  I'm so curious...what WAS behind your closed door?

Glenn,O.K. you could have stated in the report that the "due to legal ramifications of the signage posted on the door and the liability for possible damage or unknown release of something, I found it unsafe to continue my inspection.  The room or rooms behind the door could not be inspected, I therefore do not include their findings in my report.  NOW what did you really do and find???

So, was it a kid's room where he/she posted this "NO TRESPASSING" sign to keep family members out, or did it have some more sinister connotation?

Hi Glenn, As I recall back in my younger years, I had a similar sign on my bedroom door to keep my little brother out. Did it work? I have no idea, but it made me feel like it did. This photo brought back memories of my youth.

I love the signs posted. They keep the job exciting. I usually just let the Agent open the door, there is more of them around. JK Glad to see you survived.

Glenn:

Please tell us what was behind the door?  I have to know if it was a kid's room or there was a monster in the room.  The video is cute

Always be careful, but looks like something a squatter would do.

Glen - Okay, now I'm curious enough to watch the video.  You would have thought they knew the inspection was happening.

OK, so what was behind the door or with the door that they put that sign up?

Glen.  My guess it was a teenager's bedroom and what was behind the door was a horrible mess.  Right?
