Different kind of Horseshoe

By
Home Inspector with Home Inspection and Investor Services, Clayton

I recently did an inspection for a couple in southern Ohio.  A beautiful home that fit there needs well.  The home had one interesting feature that turned me green with envy.

On the lower level it had the Horseshoe.  No not a horseshoe, "The Horseshoe".

OSU Stadium 1

This is the entry to the OSU room.  It isn't a mural, it is all hand painted.

OSU Stadium 2

Imagine someone sitting down and deciding to do a whole room like this.

OSU Stadium 3

I enjoyed the experience completely.  Even if you aren't an OSU fan you have to appreciate the determination.  It took 2 years to do according to the plaque that was attached to the wall under the scoreboad.

Pretty darn impressive.  I can imagine the big screen tv with seating and a refriderator nearby with beer and muchies plus a Buckeye clock on one of the walls.

Jack, me thinks there are "fans" and then there are "fanatics"---which is close to "fanaddicts" :)

Impressive to say the least. That is really how you make a house your own.

Mel - The bar was in the next room with a place for a keg and extra large refrig.  Refrigerator went with previous owner.

Charles - we Ohioans take our football seriously, I myself am a serious fan.  Not that bad though.

David - The man-cave was superb.

Impressive for sure. What do you suppose will come of the mural? Are the new owners big football fans?

Would be better if it was Fedex Field.  But I understand the sentiment completely!  It's almost as cool as my basement!

So, how long before Urban has more "medical" problems and he leaves there too?

If that were my inspection, that room would be definitely written up as a Major Defect :)

Perhaps the narrative I might use in the report:

"Downstairs room is decorated/painted in a poor manner that may cause depression/fits of rage/embarassment. The room should be brought up to today's standards by properly repairing/replacing all affected areas with Maize & Blue decor. I recommend corrective action by a qualified Michigan contractor".

Josh -  The buyers loved the room.  They had their head straight.  Don't think they could sneak a Michigan contractor across the border anyway.
