You know that old saying ... Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? Well that seems to be the case when it comes to communication.
I'm selling a house where the A/C wiring did not pass the inspection for a FHA loan. The house had been plumbed for A/C when it was built in 2001, but the original owner never had it activated. The wiring for the external unit had been duct taped and was sticking out of the rear wall.
I quickly asked for an estimate from the listing agents contractor to "BOX" the wiring and submitted a request for repair. The estimate read "Box the AC electrical wiring, materials and labor included". The repair work was approved and I called the contractor to proceed with the "fix".
I drove to the property today to check on the work before asking for the FHA appraiser to return to the home. Box? What box? The contractor cut the wiring and capped the ends with copper piping.
What part of BOX did I not understand?
