Default Look What I Found

For once I am posting just for fun. This should stay pretty peaceful.

If you've found something worth looking at post it here. This was in an attic right by the hole I was doing a wind mitigation inspection. I could not get far enough away for a whole view shot. The only one home was the owners high school daughter. You would think he would try to cover it or something. Heck he may not even know it is there.

I suspect you put it in your report...If you didn't, you should have... I think most sellers get a copy.

I cannot imagine anything being able to grow up very well up there under lights most of the year. It was probally 120+ degrees while I was there and it was before noon.

It is a shame the poor guy was forced to hide the fact he was growing a few lousy plants while the real criminals operate in broad daylight.

I imagine they could take his kids away and send him to prison doing hard time in a conservative state like Florida.

Might be a good idea to warn him he should clean up the debris at the very least (or) you could turn him in and ruin his life.

A little aside but still on topic. Quite a coincidence:

Yesterday's news mentioned a bust of a small grow-op in our province......It was in a house on MARY JANE Riley Road......How appropriate a spot to grow "marijaun"a.
