3.Any crawl space access door or attic scuttle is readily accessible and unblocked.

5.An extra 'property disclosure form' (if used) is available for the inspector. 

6.The dishwasher is empty. 

7.A list of any recent improvements (i.e., age of roof, furnace or boiler, replacement windows, water heater). It would be helpful if this list of any recent 'upgrades the home were available.  Inspectors seek 'assets' as well as items of concern.
