Ben be careful out there - didn't take me 13 years, but my real estate agent did warn me first about this house (I finally asked, should the report be rewritten to indicate things that are right in the house) - most everything in the pics were believe it or not within a childs reach, the ones with corrsion were found in the crawlspace without panel covers + aluminum wiring +, +, + (might add, extreme difficult for me to get the pics, junk everywhere underneath and I didn't want to get to close), but again within easy reach for a child to crawl to, crawlspace with missing access panel to prevent a childs access - might recognize the cover plates from earlier posts
