#$&* Seller
Why would anyone put a 4 x 4 across the top of a gate at about 5 feet.
 The gate was open the entire inspection, so I wasn't looking for anything over the gate. I hit my head so hard it still hurts 8 hours later. It even drew a little blood. Ralph is not happy! You better believe that made it in the report!!!

Re: #$&* Seller
Did you consider they were trying to tie the fence to the adjacent building for added support by the weight of the wood against the fence?

Re: #$&* Seller
Maybe they started a "screen" for the wood storage, and gave up on finishing it?
If its 5' high, I wouldn't suspect its for measuring a cord, that's a 4' X4' X 8' measurement when stacked...

Whatever the reason it was meant for walking through (or in my case walking into). I was looking at the LP siding along the bottom edge on the south side and started standing and walking faster and came up right under the board.

I am always hitting my head. I just pray that I don't dent the ducts or piping.
