After entering this basement on this inspection, it was determined that the light bulb/socket needed to be moved/covered for obvious reasons (also notice the knob and tube wiring). Soon after I snapped this pic, I was down on my hands and knees looking at the water heater burner compartment. At the same time, I was also involved in a discussion with the realtor about combustion, carbon monoxide, etc. and as I got up to check the drafting, yep, you guessed it, I moved the light. Well, not technically "moved" it, I shattered it with my noggin. Being 6' 3", I often get in many fights with light fixtures and normally, they win. I always keep spare light bulbs in my vehicle, for this reason.
This is why light fixture covers are important- safety, safety, safety.
For the record, dining room/kitchen table lights in vacant houses seem to be my biggest foe (I am about 0 - 20 against these guys). Maybe I should start wearing a hard hat....
Hope all is well. Until next time....
