Default Homeowner thought this was OK

This poor homeowner thought that it looked ok.
These people have 2 small girls in the home as well.
I think when she said it looked ok my jaw dropped a little.
So she then tried to fix it while I was standing there taking another picture and as that was happening I told her I can not and will not fix it, as soon as the words left my mouth, the whole thing fell to the ground.
Unreal.

Some inspectors are just too damn nitpicky.

That looks like a great place to put a waiting room to see the good doctor Kavorkian!

That statement can be a thread all to itself.
