This was a picture to note the un-insulated attic door hatch cover, something I see on a majority of my imspections. There's also the missing J-box covers, missing romex connectors, etc., pretty common stuff.
However, something not so common in an attic are big blue barrels. Yes, those barrels were full. Full of what? The outside label indicated the contents as being HYDROCHLORIC ACID!!! I have no idea why they were up there, how they got there, and why someone would have two barrels of hydrochloric acid in their attic! They were resting on 4- 2 x 12 planks lying across the ceiling joists. The buyers were concerned about some cracking in the ceiling below, I wonder why!!! And I wonder why and how some people function the way they do, it's sometimes downright scary.
It's always an interesting profession, to say the least! I never did find out why they were up there. Does anyone out else store hazardous chemicals in the attic? Maybe you could enlighten me.
Have a great weekend!
