Default How Many Additions?
Inspection this morning, 1956 rancher on a slab, set for public auction on Friday. Potential buyers stopped the inspection. I wanted to finish, but probably saved a very long report. Check out the roof, attic photos next post.

Update. The home did not sell at auction (no surprise), however the clients are again considering placing an offer and are asking me to return to the property to complete the inspection.
