Why would you do this? What some people thinking when working on homes?
At Desert Sun Home Inspections in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
I run into all kinds of stuff I call "The Oddities".
I don't have a clue as to what the owner, repairman, Uncle Bob or any one else for that matter was thinking when they do things that just make no sense at all.
This is the kind of stuff that just makes me want to slap the heck out of the person who did the work.
Remember, if you don't know what you are doing then don't do it.
On a recent home inspection in Carlsbad, Yes I did say Carlsbad.
As many of you know I have been really trying to get a foothold in the Carlsbad Home Inspection markets with little or no success.
But I did get a call from a Big Named Realtors office here in Carlsbad. The needed a multi unit inspection for their buyer.
After I had set up the inspection and was there on time I found that the buyer is a former client of mine that I did a home inspection for in another city a few months back.
This was a surprising call. But the buyer said they wanted Desert Sun Home Inspections to do the inspections. Good choice I say.
Here is what I saw in the bathroom above the tub. When I got to the home being inspected.
Tell me what it is.
Looks just like a heating and cooling register right?
But here is the issue I have with this type of venting.
There needs to be ducting connected to the vent right?
Kinda hard to do when you have a space heater an no ducting in the entire home.
This means the is no ducting in the attic for the vent.
This is actually the attic access. But nothing attached to the vent. It was not even screened off to prevent any insects or rodents that may have gotten into the attic from coming into the home.
My recommendation was to relocate the access then close up existing access.
Remember.
Always get a professional certified home inspection.
Have a great day every one.
