Default Re-inspection findings

A fellow inspector was recently called back to verify the Seller had properly addressed several deficiencies noted in the inspection report. One such deficiency was the lack of a safety pan under the water heater in a hallway closet. The Seller assured the Buyer everything had been repaired. The fellow inspector decided to look a little closer when he noticed the pan drain wasn't plumbed. Well, that was really the least of the problems.

Now this is just some funny stuff....If people would use 10% effort to do it right, it would be done instead opf 150% to circumvent the proper installtion procedures. A+ for effrot and originality

It's genius because no one could accuse you of doing any actual repairs. They'd have to change the SOP to to say you can't do any fake repairs. Lol

Look, I'm not sure how all this is gonna mesh with the restrictive Ethics Code here at INACHI. We need to start thinking of a break-away association. Let's just keep this to ourselves for now though.
