Now that I've cleaned my screen of Pepsi. Why was the access right above the shower? I would think that would pose a moisture issue in the attic.

Yes above the shower Bobby, that was my first concern as I ran the shower and did not want to set my ladder up in there. Then I wanted to be careful next to the glass door. AND THEN WHOOPMP, I was not a happy camper. I scooped most of it up then used my little vacuum until the battery died.

And they say being a home inspector is such a fun job.

So did you recommend relocating the attic access?

Just curious...

Was the hatch painted shut (due to shower location), and if so, do you always break the paint seal? And if so, do you repaint to correct the broken/damaged paint? And if not, have you ever had a seller insist that you repaint/correct the damaged area? And if so, did you?
